New Delhi: Former Union minister P Chidambaram on Sunday took a dig at the Centre, Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the media over the “new improved system” of trying cases and pronouncing judgment without evidence, thereby “surpassing kangaroo courts”. Taking to Twitter, Chidambaram said, “If the government, ED and the media have their way, in this country, cases will be tried on TV channels.”
Even kangaroo courts hold trials in a courtroom. Our new ‘improved’ system will surpass kangaroo courts and deliver justice on TV channels.

The veteran Congress leader’s remarks came a day after the ED told a Delhi court that Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case, had mentioned Congress leader Sonia Gandhi while he was being questioned.
Continuing his attack on the ED and the media, Chidambaram said, “Further, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Evidence Act will not apply. What the ED says will be oral evidence, any piece of paper that the ED produces will be documentary evidence and what the TV channel pronounces will be the judgment.”
