Chidambaram Conflict Of Interest

Sources close to Congress leader P Chidambaram today dismissed the charge of conflict of interest when his wife appeared as a senior counsel for the income tax department in 2004 when he was Finance Minister or when she took up the case of a woman in connection with the Sarada chit fund scam case.

Home Minister P Chidambaram, who finds himself the target of a concerted opposition attack yet again, has said he is "deeply hurt" and has rejected the charge that he misused his office to end a police investigation against SP Gupta, a businessman who was allegedly his client.

Will Parliament be paralysed again today over the BJP's demand for Home Minister P Chidambaram's resignation? The opposition party has cited a newspaper report to allege that the minister misused his office to end a police investigation against SP Gupta, a businessman who was allegedly his client.

As Home Minister P Chidambaram came in the line of Opposition fire, Delhi Lieutenant Governor Tejinder Khanna today revoked his earlier decision and asked for cases against a hotelier, said to be a former client of the minister, to be restarted.
