Congress spokesperson: Nirav Modi letter showcases his arrogance

New Delhi, Feb 21: The Congress on Tuesday said the purported letter written by jeweller Nirav Modi, who is allegedly involved in Rs 11,300 crore PNB scam, smacks of arrogance and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley that if the letter is authentic, what action would be taken against him.

It also asked if the government knew the whereabouts of Nirav Modi.

Claiming that banking sector is in serious trouble, the party also asked the Prime Minister and Finance Minister to direct all public and private sector banks to make all details about NPAs and bank frauds public.

"Nirav Modi has written a letter. If you analyse the letter, you will see it smacks of arrogance. Only that person can write such a letter who knows he will not face any consequences because of this. He knows people who are in power will always protect him," said Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari.
