Echoing sentiments expressed by the Prime Minister over the use of INS Viraat by late Rajiv Gandhi for a family vacation, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Thursday said while the "kaamdars" use India's naval fleet to strike at terror, "naamdars" used them for personal reasons.
 
"The Kaamdars use India's naval assets to strike at terror. The Naamdars use them for personal vacations with family and in-laws," Jaitley said in a tweet.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi often uses the word "naamdar" to refer to the members of the Gandhi family, and "kaamdar" for people who work hard for the nation.
