New Delhi: Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram is celebrating his 74th birthday in Tihar jail and his son couldn’t help by pen down a poignant letter for him, on Monday.
“You are 74-years-old and no 56!!! Can stop you,” Karti wrote in a 2-page letter.
The senior Congress leader is presently under detention in Delhi’s Tihar Jail in connection with the INX Media corruption case.
Chidambaram was lodged as prisoner number 1449 in a cell in Jail no. 7 on September 5.
“Although you have never been one for grand celebrations, and nowadays in the country, we seem to be making grand celebrations out of every little thing; your birthday is not the same without you with us. We miss you, your absence tugs at our hearts, and we wish you were back home to cut a cake with all of us,” Karti wrote on Twitter.
Beginning with Chandrayaan-2 and lander Vikram losing communication with the ISRO, Karti touched upon various issues ranging from Kashmir, economic slowdown, Nirmala Sitharaman’s remark on millennials and Piyush Goyal’s gravity analogy, Assam NRC and the celebration of 100 days of the Modi government, in the letter.
Concluding his letter on a positive note, Karti writes, “I have faith that you too will come out guns blazing against this elaborately staged political drama and for now, we all await that hard-fought glory of truth.
