Modi misleading country on Mehul Choksi: Congress

The Congress on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "misleading" the country on bringing back absconding diamond trader Mehul Choksi accused in a bank fraud case, saying he is now unlikely to return after he surrendered his Indian passport.

Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said, "It now appears that Mehul Bhai is not going to be friend (of Modi) anymore because he has decided not to ever return to India, his Indian passport stands surrendered...Utter hypocrisy and again misleading the people of this country."
