Rahul Gandhi asks why PM Modi, Arun Jaitley are silent on PNB scam

Congress leader Singhvi issued statement claiming that his family company has no connections with Nirav Modi's firms, except that of renting them some property

The political slugfest over the Nirav Modi scam continued on Saturday with both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Opposition Congress accusing each other of links with the absconding jeweller.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley were quiet on the matter, while Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman returned the volley by saying that the Congress had no moral right to accuse the BJP since its own leader, Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s family had rented out property to Nirav Modi’s company in Mumbai.
