After Finance Minister Arun Jaitley from his hospital bed in the US targeted the CBI for having gone after all previous and current top honchos of ICICI bank, he has been joined in by his lawyer 'brother in arms' and former FM P Chidambaram in what investigative officials have termed as the 'disdainful display of ministerial adventurism and absolutism'.

On Sunday, PC attacked the CBI for “indiscriminately targeting” some of the bankers, and pointed out that the agency received the “ultimate certificate” from Union Minister Arun Jaitley, who termed it “investigative adventurism”.

This has added further grist to the capital's rumor mills that the two lawyers, AJ and PC, have always been hand in glove in protecting their 'common clients'.

In a series of tweets, the Congress leader said he was glad that Jaitley’s conscience and legal acumen finally stirred him to condemn the “indiscriminate targeting of eminent bankers” in cases involving thousands of crores.

“The CBI has received the ultimate certificate from the one who has the best ringside seat, the Finance Minister (on leave): ‘Adventurism and megalomania have overtaken investigators!’”  Chidambaram tweeted.

Criticizing the CBI for its action in the case against former ICICI CEO Chanda Kochhar, Jaitley had written a Facebook post where he criticized the CBI and said, “There is a fundamental difference between investigative adventurism and professional investigation.”
