Cowards Shamefully Hunting Down Chidambaram for Exposing Failures of This Govt, Says Priyanka Gandhi

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday morning jumped to the defence of her party colleague P Chidambaram who is facing imminent arrest after the Delhi High Court on Tuesday rejected his anticipatory bail petition in the INX Media corruption and money laundering cases. In a tweet, Priyanka said that Chidambaram is being punished for speaking the truth and exposing the failures of the Modi government.

The Congress leader said that Chidambaram has served the country with loyalty for long as Finance minister and Home minister. She said that the entire Congress party stands with him and in the fight for the truth.

“An extremely qualified and respected member of the Rajya Sabha, P Chidambaram has served our nation with loyalty for decades including as Finance Minister and Home Minister. He unhesitatingly speaks truth to power and exposes the failures of this government, but the truth is inconvenient to cowards so he is being shamefully hunted down,” she said.
