Chidambaram stands vindicated, says S M Krishna

Bangalore, Feb 4: External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said on Saturday Home Minister P Chidambaram has been "vidicated" by the verdict of a Delhi court throwing out a plea to make him an accused in the 2G spectrum case.

"We are naturally happy with the judgement. These were nothing but baseless allegations; they can't stand the scrutity under the court of law", he told reporters on the sidelines of a general body meeting of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC).

"Chidambaram stands vidicated", the former Karnataka Chief Minister added. Corporate Affairs Minister M Veerappa Moily said the judgement was expected.

"Subramanian Swamy has always been doing this. Subramanian Swamy can go anywhere (appealing in higher courts), we can't prevent him. As long as there are people like Subramanian Swamy, anyone can be dragged to court", Moily added.
