P Chidambaram

Two individuals are presently in public eye: One, a high-profile politician; the other a fringe player. Both face serious allegations. Both are under probe. Both claim vendetta. Both are relying on hidden support from within society.

Currently, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram is in five-day CBI custody. A special CBI Court has granted CBI custody of former Union Minister for Finance and Home, P Chidambaram, in the INX Media case till August 26.

The apex court fixed the hearing in the case against CBI on Monday, August 26 as former Finance Minister P Chidambaram has been remanded to custody till that date.

It appears that the INX Media case, the new FIR against NDTV and arrest of P Chidambaram are all interconnected.

Delhi HC judge observed P Chidambaram as the kingpin of the INX Media scam and refused to grant him interim relief

Within a few minutes of Chidambaram's arrest, the liberal heart bled for their fallen hero, who once had once co-opted the very same intelligentsia, media and other opinion-makers.

As seen above, Brinda Karat (CPIM), Manoj Jha (RJD) and Ghulam Nabi Azad (Congress) aren't particularly excited at the limelight being taken away from them by Karti.

After being missing for almost an entire day post the Supreme Court rejecting immediate relief from arrest in the INX media scam case, P Chidambaram went missing.

Enjoy the Whataboutism. By the way, how long before some renowned 'divider' in media tries to size up yesterday’s arrest in terms of caste or regional faultlines? Let’s see who does it first.

The CBI will grill him at 10 am and later produce him in special court to seek custodial interrogation.
