Chidambaram is lodged in Tihar jail in connection with the INX media case.
"The country has just seen the 'trailer' of the fast functioning of the government within hundred days and the entire 'film still remains to be seen'," he said.
The Prime Minister reiterated his commitment to securing the dignity of muslim citing the passing of the triple talaq bill in the first session of Parliament in Modi 2.0.
