New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday slammed the arrest of former finance minister P Chidambaram’s son, Karti, in a money-laundering case as Modi government’s “vendetta and vindictive politics” to target its opponents.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday morning arrested the 46-year-old businessman from the Chennai airport in INX Media money-laundering case.
“Classical diversionary tactic to hide Scams & Colossal Corruption that is being exposed on a daily basis, be it NiMo+Choksi, DD Jewellers and Rotomac,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted. “However, it will not stop the Congress from bringing the truth out to the people.”
The CBI in 2017 named Karti as an accused along with the then INX Media promoters Peter Mukerjea and his wife, Indrani and charged them with criminal conspiracy, cheating, receiving illegal gratification, influencing public servants and criminal misconduct.
