NEW DELHI — Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday slammed the government over the action of probe agencies against former finance minister P Chidambaram, alleging that he is being “hunted down” as he speaks the truth which is “inconvenient to cowards”.

Priyanka Gandhi also said that the party stands by Chidambaram.

Her expression of strong support to Chidambaram, who has also been a home minister, came a day after the Delhi High Court refused to grant him any protection from arrest in the INX media case.

Hours after the High Court ruling, a team of CBI officers landed at Chidambaram’s posh Jor Bagh residence to locate him, but left after not finding the senior Congress leader there.
