Column written by Mani Shankar Aiyar way back blasts P. Chidambaram
Readers will recall -- and the victim, I trust, will never forget -- my article exposing the hypocrisy and worse of Chidambaram's tie-up with the very forces he had so roundly condemned for their involvement in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.
Worse was to follow when Chidambaram was named minister in charge of the investigation into Rajiv Gandhi's assassination in May 1995. He has told the Jain Commission -- apparently with neither regret nor remorse--that he did not consider it his ministerial duty to follow up any of the charges he had laid at the door of the DMK, both before Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and after.
Confronted with a clipping from the leading Tamil daily, Dinamalar of November 12, 1996, which had published a compendium of his statements on the DMK link to the Rajiv assassination, Chidambaram, after first trying his standard ruse of hiding behind technicalities, confirmed the substance of the statements cited. These supplemented his wholesale condemnation in Parliament of the DMK's culpability, as accessories both before and after the fact, in the assassination by the LTTE of EPRLF leader Padmanabha.
Worse, he asserted, apparently without shame, that he had not cared, even as minister in charge of the assassination, to inform himself of the circumstances leading to Shanmugam, the key Indian involved in both assassinations, having had his fetters removed by the police, allegedly in the presence of the SIT chief, Karthikeyan, which gave him the opportunity of (allegedly) hanging himself, thus depriving the prosecution of its key witness.

>>> What does this Aiyar fellow think about Sonia Gandhi tieing up with DMK who were at least indirectly involved in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi?
