In Tihar Jail, Chidambaram says birthday greetings make me feel 74 years young, thanked everybody

Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, who on Monday turned 74, tweeted he felt 74 years young and that his thoughts were on the economy.

Mr. Chidambaram is now lodged in Tihar jail on charges of corruption in the INX Media case. “I have asked my family to tweet on my behalf the following: My family have brought me greetings from friends, party colleagues and well-wishers. I am reminded that I am 74 years old. Indeed I am, but at heart I feel 74 years young,” Mr. Chidambaram’s Twitter account said.

His son and Congress Lok Sabha member from Tamil Nadu, Karti Chidambaram, posted an emotional open letter where he targeted the Narendra Modi-led government.
