hello and welcome to The show, thank you for joining me!
Ending a high drama lasting two days, senior Congress leader and former union minister P Chidambaram was finally arrested by a CBI team today evening from his residence.
TV channels showed the CBI sleuths climbing over the wall of Chidambaram's residence to arrest him after knocking on the doors yielded no results
why was he arrested?
“two FIRs registered against Chidambaram under the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, which were investigated by the CBI and the ED, respectively. The CBI registered the FIR in 2017 and the ED did it in 2018.
This has marked the end of a wait of more than a year for CBI and ED seeking custodial interrogation of the former finance minister
P Chidambaram is accused of granting illegal FIPB approval to six companies, including INX Media and Aircel-Maxis Diageo Scotland Ltd., Katara Holdings, Essar Steel Ltd. and Elforge Ltd.
he and his son Karti Chidambaram are accused of using shell companies to launder money received as kickbacks for the FIPB approvals
The INX Media case relates to discrepancies and alleged shady dealings in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance given to the media group for international investment funds worth 305 crores and Aircel maxis scam in 3500 crores
P Chidambaram’s anticipatory bail plea was rejected by the Delhi High Court yesterday, paving the way for his arrest.
he had gone missing for the last 18 hours, which prompted the public to make some fantastic images to help the police in identifying him in case he had other getups:
The CBI is investigating the offences of illegal FIPB approvals given in lieu of kickback paid to various shell companies floated by Karti Chidambaram on the name of his employee and other business associates.
While ED is probing the money laundering of the kickback and its investments in movable and immovable properties in India and foreign countries.
The records of the Supreme Court also show that the special leave petition filed by Chidambaram’s lawyers have defects. The SC website shows that there are 4 defects in the petition, and until those defects are not corrected, the petition can’t be taken up by the court.
You are a legal-eagle. You hire a battery of legal-eagles whose combined worth runs into billions. You have a hundred-member strong team helping you. Your ass is on the line.
And then you submit a petition that has elementary errors and is returned.
could have just used a cheap lawyer
But things took a dramatic turn in the evening when Chidambaram surfaced at the AICC headquarters, in full view of TV camera, addressing a press conference.
If he is innocent of the crimes for which he is being prosecuted, why is he evading the law like Vijay mallya?

Chidambaram left the AICC office immediately after the press conference, without taking any questions, and before the ED and CBI teams could arrive to arrest him.
Congress is famous for corruption and is committing political hara kiri.

by backing Chidambaram in the present scenario and alleging that all actions against him are motivated by a political agenda, Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul gandhi has ended up maligning the judiciary and exposing her lack of faith in it.
congress working harder than Modi for Congress Mukt Bharat
One person who gets a lot of credit for this arrest is Subramanian Swamy:
Subramanian Swamy had first alleged that in 2006 a company controlled by Karti Chidambaram, the son of then Minister of Finance P Chidambaram, received a five-percent share of Aircel to get part of 40 billion paid by Maxis Communications for the 74-percent share of Aircel
Subramanian Swamy has kept the pressure up on administration to keep this mega scam heated and surely deserves the due credit for his persistence in this regard
This is a good example of na Khaunga na khaane doonga edict of Modi to clamp down on corrupt parties, I didn’t think this would happen.
Even Trump, who wanted Hillaryt in jail could not throw her in jail because these people have a lot of power and influence withing the political system:
Do you guys think this is a one off? Do you think he will be jailed?
