Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said fake campaigns of ‘compulsive contrarians’ on three issues — the Hindu terror theory, the Godhra incident and Nirav Modi case — were busted in a single day.
In the Samjhauta Express blast case, the trial court on Wednesday dismissed the UPA government’s theory of Hindu terror; while in the Godhra case, the court convicted one more person. Also, the fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi was arrested in the UK on the same day.
“A fundamental difference between truth and falsehood is that truth holds together and falsehood falls apart. To each fake campaign of the ‘compulsive contrarians’ over a period of time, ultimately the truth has prevailed. Either it is the electoral mandate or the judicial process which gives the final verdict, Jaitley said in his blog titled ‘Three Fake Campaigns Busted in a Single Day.’
Jaitley said Nirav Modi started cheating the public sector banks in 2011.
“On our request, he has now been arrested and denied bail. There is a strong unanswerable case against him and hopefully India will get him back.”
The minister said there is an inherent danger in relying only on fake issues. “I hope the manufacturers of fake campaign learn some lesson. They don’t seem to be considering their brazen attitude,” he added.
