Senior Congress Leaders Showing Solidarity Meets Shivakumar in Tihar 

New Delhi: In a show of solidarity with jailed former Karnataka Minister and senior Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar who is currently lodged in Tihar jail, senior party leaders Ahmed Patel, Anand Sharma and D.K. Suresh met him in the prison on Thursday. D.K. Shivakumar was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on September 3 in connection with its probe into the charges of money laundering after questioning him for four days. The arrest came after the Karnataka High Court rejected his plea for interim protection from the arrest. The Congress leaders spent over 40 minutes with Shivakumar in the jail. After meeting Shivakumar, his brother Suresh told reporters: “Right now, he is alright... the blood pressure is a little bit high but he is alright.” He said Sharma and Patel talked about providing the party’s moral support to Shivakumar.
