New Delhi: The Congress party accused the government of being perhaps deliberately asleep at the wheel while scamsters upped and fled the country.
According to the news reported in Times of India, the congress party said that, one side PM Modi advises to make career out of selling pakodas, on the other side “thieves loot and flee the country”.
‘UDAAN’ is the buzzword of Modi Government, wherein every Scamster can ‘fleece and fly’ – ‘unchecked and undetected’.

Congress leader Kapil Sibal said that “Why is PM Modi refusing to disclose who all travel with him on official tours? Is this the kind of ‘Ease of Doing Business’ the PM talks about.”
Nirav Modi is the prime suspect in a case of alleged misappropriation of as much as Rs 280 crore from Punjab National Bank (PNB).

Question No 3
Does Prime Minister know accused-Mehul Choksi? If yes, why is Modi Government denying it? Did the PMO, PIB and MEA not tweet the picture of Business Delegation comprising of Nirav Modi with Prime Minister? 8/ pic.twitter.com/YmTFlHSKet
