PC’s detention witch-hunt of worst kind: Cong

New Delhi: Senior Congress leaders on Monday described P Chidambaram’s detention as a “witch-hunt of the worst kind” and tweeted in support of the former finance minister using the hashtag ‘Release Chidambaram’.
The SC on Thursday reserved its verdict on the plea filed by Chidambaram seeking bail in the INX Media money-laundering case.
“Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram has been in judicial custody for more than 100 days. His continued detention is nothing but a witch-hunt of the worst kind. It is the duty of the court to uphold the personal liberty of an individual,” Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal said. (PTI)
