NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Tuesday accused Congress president Rahul Gandhi of “concocting” falsehood and said he had never even seen fugitive jeweller Nirav Modi in person, leave alone meeting him in Parliament and helping him escape from the country.
Continuing to call Congress leader a “clown prince”, Jaitley in a Facebook blog wondered if Gandhi has a personality issue where “he lies a dozen times and then in self-delusion believes it to be true or is it a case of a ‘Clown Prince’ out-clowning himself?”
Terming Gandhi’s allegation that he met multi-billion PNB fraud accused Nirav Modi in Parliament, the Finance Minister said: “I do not recollect ever having even seen Nirav Modi in my life. The question of his meeting me in Parliament does not arise. If he came to Parliament, as Rahul Gandhi claims, then reception records would show that. Where have I admitted all this Mr Gandhi?”.
Jaitley noted that while speaking at two different functions in Madhya Pradesh on Monday, Gandhi made two references to him. (AGENCIES)
