Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram today criticised the ED search at the office of his son Karti calling it a "fishing and roving" enquiry and wondered how far a "foolish" government would go to harass him.
"Mr Karti Chidambaram made a statement. As can be expected nothing was found in the fishing and roving enquiry.
"I would like to see how far a foolish government would go in harassing him. I still believe that the departments I left behind have many officers who will act according to law and their conscience," he said in his reaction.
Chidamabram had last month accused the government of a "malicious onslaught" launched by it against his family and said if it wants to target him, it should do so directly and not harass friends of Karti.

Meanwhile, Congress chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala said Chidambaram and his family were being "maliciously targeted" by Modi government as part of its concerted agenda to target all political opponents.
"We condemn the same," he added.
