Following the sensational arrest of former Union Minister P Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram by the CBI in Chennai earlier today, Congress has cried foul and called it a case of political vendetta. While many Congress leaders and sympathisers masquerading as journalists tried to portray Karti’s arrest as an attempt to divert attention from the PNB scam which is under investigation, some Congress leaders could not keep their foot too far from their mouth.
Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha tweeted in defence of Karti saying that the fact that he returned from London (surprising to see London being a favourite hangout place for those accused of fraud, like Vijay Mallya and Lalit Modi), but others, get a ‘VIP sendoff’.

By his tweet, does Jha mean that Karti is in the same league as Mallaya and Nirav Modi and others accused of swindling crores of rupees?
People even pointed it out to him that this could imply an admission of guilt, in a way.

Some even wondered if Karti was just thrown under the bus to save The Family?

While some just decided to have some fun at Jha’s expense.

Whatever it is, we here hope this is first of the many steps which will clean up the system.
