Subramanian Swamy, Tamilisai corner P Chidambaram for past involvement with Sterlite

Post the anti-Sterlite protests that killed 11 on Wednesday, former finance minister P Chidambaram had tweeted saying that BJP was the only party that justified opening fire at public and also hinted that the government in Tamil Nadu was a puppet in the hands of the ruling party at the centre.
 

The comments of Chidambaram has come in for much criticism from BJP leaders like Tamilisai Soundararajan and Subramanian Swamy who questioned his past links with Vedanta that owns Sterlite.
 

Business Standard reports quote Chidambaram as being a part of Vedanta's legal team and being on its board before becoming finance minister in 2004. In 2003, he defended Sterlite in a tax evasion case, says India Today.
