Former CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat has alleged that it has become an established pattern for scamsters to “conveniently leave” the country under the Narendra Modi led Government.
In his editorial in the latest issue of the ‘Peoples’ Democracy’, he has termed the PNB scam the “most brazen and shocking” case of defrauding in the history of Indian banking.
“As is the pattern established under the Modi government, Nirav Modi, his uncle Mehul Choksi and family members conveniently left the country in the first week of January, before the CBI was called in to investigate the criminal wrongdoing. The same had happened in the case of Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya.” Karat has alleged.
He also alleged that “certain BJP leaders” were close to Nirav Modi and Choksi.
Karat attacked the prime minister saying the claims of Modi government of a corruption free regime is now in “tatters” with the Nirav Modi scandal coming soon after the “murky” Rafale fighter jet deal.
