Government will have to support PC, as he is one of the key members of the Cabinet. The Government is already too busy fire-fighting on various fronts. They obviously don't want to add one more to the list. Being a senior and key minister having handled / handling very crucial portfolios, he is privy to too many sensitive information.
They will use the ruse 'Innocent until proven guilty' and 'The law will take its own course' etc. etc.

In the first place Congress party should have advised him to face the trail in the case filed against his election without adopting any delaying tactics. This would have enabled him to clear his name (if he was innocent) and established his integrity and fitness to be a minister. Instead, by adopting delaying tactics by applying to the High Court to dismiss the petition, he has behaved like a professional criminal who would go to any extent to delay a case filed against him. Chidambaram is a good and capable minister but this action to delay a case filed against him goes to show that there may be some element of truth in the allegation made against him by AIADMK. It is unfair that a person, the legality of whose election is under scrutiny should be allowed to continue as Home Minister of the country. It would have been morally ok for him to continue had he not tried to delay the the trail in the original case filed against him. In fact the trail related to validity of Chidambaram's
