Arrested for corruption, Congress leader P. Chidambaram told the Delhi High Court that no public funds were involved in the INX Media case and questioned the credibility of Indrani Mukerjea.
The Enforcement Directorate, which is also investigating P. Chidambaram in the INX Media case, said it will take the former finance minister into custody at an appropriate time.
Congress leader P. Chidambaram, under judicial custody in Tihar jail, said he had no answer to people asking why he was the only one arrested in the INX Media case.

In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
Using this technology, IDF carried out fully robotic combat missions, drastically reducing risk to Israeli troops. The robotic combat task force also enhanced situational awareness.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Mr Chidambaram is an intelligent person.
He did not exactly cheat nor did the secretaries.
The modus operandi followed was this: INX Media was accorded sanction for subscription to its Share capital for X amount. This recommendation of the secretaries was approved by Sri Chidambarm. Nothing wrong up to this stage.
Sri Chidambaram later advised INX Media that the sanctioned ‘X’ amount could be interpreted as bare Face value of shares and INX was free to invite subscription to its shares at a premium. Thus, the ‘X’ amount became 20’X’; the no of shares remaining the same. Apparently, the sanction terms were not violated.
Sri Chidambaram extracted a price for this piece of advice [called consultancy charges] and the said charges were to be paid to his son’s account.
Sri Chidambaram thus misused his position and is guilty of moral turpitude.
With this single X we will make XXX. This is not only the case there are than2000 voilations
No decision in the country was taken by a single person , if in spite of this there was corruption, obviously he admits that all were complicit. He rented out his clean image to the party and from top to bottom allowed everyone to ride on it. What did he get for it? The TAM ZAM of being a PM, flying in Air India One with a lot of chamchas and finally a disgraced departure.
Citizen-voters have very poor knowledge of the way in which is the Enforcement Directorate (ED) or CBI or similar Investigation Authorities function. In the past not one Congress or UPA government made any effort to ensure that these agencies/organizations function with reasonable level of autonomy. Today we can have doubts as to whether criminal cases filed for money laundering activities are politicised. Hence, former PM Manmohan Singh has every right to raise questions about arrest of P Chidambaram. However, my view is that he has to accept that his government did nothing to ensure that ED, CBI etc. could function without fear of ministerial or government intervention. Citizen-voters have now to demand that ED, CBI etc become functionally and truly independent. Would former PM Manmohan Singh support this demand?
People are investigated only if there is a quid pro quo in sanction. Bullying officials to put up favourable recommendations is very common. Let not the ex PM justify his ministers who misused their lest the suspicion of complicity fall on him also.
Dr. Manmohan Singh allowed 2G Scam, Coal Scam, Commonwealth Games Scam and many more to happen. His opinionsAre worthless if these are about another scam master in his government.
