SC did not say anything against Chidambaram: Cong

February 02, 2012 12:19

With the Supreme Court leaving it to the trial court to decide on the probe against Home Minister P Chidambaram in 2G case, the BJP on Thursday demanded his resignation till the matter is settled.

"He (Chidambaram) is fully involved in the entire scam and he has two days' reprieve. But issue of probity in public life demands that either Chidambaram puts in his papers on his own, or if he refuses to do so, the prime minister must recommend to the President to sack him him from the government with immediate effect," BJP leader Balbir Punj said.

But the Congress dug in its heels, pointing out that the Supreme Court has not passed any remark against Chidambaram in the 2G case, but the party withheld detailed comment pending study of the apex court order.
