Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram has been admitted to a hospital here on Tuesday and is said to be stable.
In a post on X, Chidambaram said, "All eyes will be on the US aircraft which will land today in Amritsar bringing back illegal immigrants. Will the deportees be handcuffed and their legs tied with ropes? It is a test for Indian diplomacy."
Senior Congress leader and former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram said that never before in its history has Maharashtra performed so badly on all fronts, as he attacked the BJP-Mahayuti here on Saturday.
Speaking about major themes, he said unemployment is the biggest challenge. The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMEI) estimated the all India unemployment rate in June 2024 at 9.2 per cent. It may have come down, but a wrong picture has been projected.
The new criminal laws implemented today were forcefully passed in Parliament by suspending 146 Opposition MPs, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said.
Sitharaman termed Chidambaram "arithmetic inevitability" remarks as "misleading" and explained her rationale.
The Congress leader claimed that China has occupied 2,000 sq km of Indian territory.
Speaking to the media he wondered, “Is he (Rao) extending an olive branch to the Congress or the BJP? Let him clarify. We ran two successful coalition governments in Delhi from 2004-2009 and then again in 2009-14.”
In a post on X, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya said, “You were the Home Minister when former Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee’s office was bugged. Does this ring a bell, Mr Chidambaram?”
Responding to Chidambaram's remarks, BJP's Malviya reminded him of an infamous incident of then Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's office being bugged.
