Mumbai: Jailed senior Congress leader P.Chidambaram claimed on Thursday that inequality among Indians was increasing and wondered whether “weakly fickle” freedom would “burn brightly or die.”

“Fraternity is all but dead. Casteism and bigotry seem to have taken over. Equality is a distant dream. All the evidence point to growing inequality among Indians. Liberty is the only flame flickering weakly. Will it burn brightly or die, only time can tell,” he said on Twitter.

Chidambaram, who had asked his family to tweet on his behalf, also said, “As we begin the year-long celebration of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, we have to ask the question “Whither Liberty, Equality and Fraternity?”.
