Congress MP Karti Chidambaram skips ED summons in visa case, says busy with winter session

Congress MP Karti Chidambaram cited his preoccupation with the ongoing Parliament session as the reason for not appearing before the Enforcement Directorate. He was called to record his statements in connection with the investigation into the issuance of visas to Chinese nationals involved in a power plant project in Punjab. Karti has been accused of lobbying his father, a former Union home minister, to organize the visas. The investigation is under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
