Priyanka’s reaction comes after the Delhi high court refused to grant him any protection from arrest in the INX media case.
Hours after the HC ruling, a team of Central Bureau of Investigation officers landed at Chidambaram’s posh Jor Bagh residence to locate him, but left after not finding the senior Congress leader . Even the ED were at the door step but did not succeed in getting him.
Chidambaram is likely to file an appeal for interim / anticipatory bail in Supreme Court.
After Priyanka, Congress Communications in- charge Randeep Singh Surjewala to tweeted his support for P Chidambaram when he wrote, “India witnesses worst kind of virulent vendetta by Modi Govt as the BJP runs a police state. Judge reserves judgement for 7 months & delivers it 72 hours before retirement, CBI/ED are sent to raid as a respected former FM is hounded. Banana Republic?”
