Chidambaram's relief raises more questions than answers

After the CBI trial court on Saturday dismissed Subramanian Swamy's plea to make Home Minister P Chidambaram co-accused in the 2G spectrum scam case, a relieved Congress said "it's a victory of the truth."
Surprised by the Delhi court's rejection of his plea, Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy today said he has a "very, very strong case" and will appeal against the order in higher courts. "I am surprised," Swamy said soon after the special CBI court dismissed his plea against Chidambaram.
"How can Chidambaram be vindicated by one court unless he is vindicated in all the courts," he said. "This is nothing new for me. I will go for appeal...This is not the first time that a petition has been dismissed," he said, while recalling that his appeals against High Court decisions in the cases of grant of sanctions and cancellation of 2G licences had been upheld by the Supreme Court.
Similarly, Cho Ramaswamy, editor of Thuglak feels the relief is going to be temporary.
