ABVP demands Chidambaram’s arrest


BHUBANESWAR: Demanding Home Minister P Chidambaram’s arrest for his involvement in 2G scam, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged demonstration at Mastercanteen Square here on Wednesday supporting its nationwide demonstration against the central minister.

The demonstrators have burnt effigy of P Chidambaram and came out in a procession from Matercanteen to Lower PMG by flaunting placards bearing different slogans against the minister.

ABVP leaders alleged that because of then Finance Minister P Chidambaram, 2G scam occurred, which incurred loss of 1.72 lakh crore to the country. Hence considering his involvement of P Chidambaram in the 2G scam, they demanded that the President of India should remove him from his post and made him co-accused, they added.

Joint secretary of State ABVP Sitakanta Rout said the student movement will continue till the minister is arrested. On the coming days ABVP will intensify its agitation against the minister and lakhs of ABVP activists will participate in the agitation already run by Youth Against Corruption, he added.
