Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram who walked out of Tihar jail on Wednesday, after spending 106 days in jail, will address media at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi. Chidambaram is also likely to attend the Parliaments session today, as told by his son Karti Chidambaram while speaking to media post the Supreme Courts decision granting bail to the former union minister.
Chidambaram was released on Wednesday evening (8 p.m.) from the Tihar jail after 106 days of “pre-trial incarceration”, following the grant of bail by the Supreme Court.
Soon after stepping out of the jail, received by his son and Lok Sabha member Karti Chidambaram and welcomed by slogan-shouting party workers, Chidambaram told the waiting media, “In the 106 days of pre-trail incarceration not a single charge was framed against me.”
Speaking to reporters after meeting Gandhi, Chidambaram said, “I am happy that Supreme Court has passed an order granting bail and I am happy that I have stepped out and breathing the air of freedom after 106 days.”
