LUCKNOW: Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday hit out at PM Narendra Modi over the latter’s reply to a query from a journalist on Gautam Adani during his recent US visit, saying the issue was not a ‘personal matter’ but one about the country.
To a question whether he had raised with US President Donald Trump the indictment of Adani in a New York court over the latter’s involvement in an alleged bribery scheme, Modi had said: “Prominent representatives of two countries never discuss such individual issues.” Trump had also made no mention of the case during the joint press conference with Modi.
Attacking Modi at an event in Rae Bareli, Rahul said: “If he truly was India’s PM , he would have asked Trump about the matter and told him that he would get it inquired and if needed send him (to the US) for inquiry. But no, he said it’s a personal matter.”
