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.
Judge Kuhar is currently presiding over the special court to try lawmakers in the national capital including Congress leader DK Shivakumar, RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his family members, former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and his family members, among others.
P Chidambaram’s case will be next heard on September 19 in Rouse Avenue court.
Chidambaram is under probe by CBI and ED over alleged irregularities in the FIPB clearance granted to INX Media for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during his tenure as Finance Minister.
Chidambaram is currently under judicial custody in Tihar jail in the INX Media case.
The Congress leader also thanked his followers for their support and said he was "amazed by the capacity of the poor to distinguish between justice and injustice."
