Karti Chidambaram

The next date of hearing in the matter is July 11

The CBI had alleged that the concerned officers of the FIPB unit of the Ministry of Finance, by virtue of the influence exercised over them by Karti Chidambaram, ignored the serious illegality on the part of INX Media

Karti Chidambaram won the Sivaganga Lok Sabha constituency on a Congress ticket in the recently concluded 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

It is of paramount importance that Narendra Modi delivers on certain core fronts to prevent disenchantment among the ideological electorate.

Refusing to consider his plea, the court asked Karti's advocate to mention the petition before the bench headed by CJI Gogoi since there is no urgency in the matter.

The women were promised Rs. 500 each and ended up getting only Rs. 32 each. Outraged, they questioned how Rahul Gandhi would give them Rs. 6000 per month if Congress can't even give them Rs. 500 as promised

Both P Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram are accused in the INX Media scam which involves charges of bribery and lobbying in granting foreign investments worth Rs 300 crores to INX Media.

Karti Chidambaram, son of senior Congress leader and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram, was given a Lok Sabha ticket by the Congress party from Sivaganga constituency at Tamil Nadu. He was given a ticket despite the fact that he has been charged in the INX Media case and Aircel Maxis case.

The Law Ministry is reported to have told the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) that there was "no legal infirmity" in the agency's request seeking sanction for prosecution against Chidambaram. This view has now been communicated to the CBI as well.
