Around Nirav Modi’s arrest
As the Lok Sabha elections are approaching, the Modi government is doing everything it can to project itself as a clean government. This government which does not hesitate to use people’s nationalism for elections, is all set to wear the crown of arresting the rich who fled from India.
Vijay Mallya who had defaulted Indian banks on Rs 9,000 cr was caught in London. Diamond merchant of Gujarat Nirav Modi had defaulted Rs 13,500 cr to Punjab National Bank. Another industrialist Mittal had fled the country under similar conditions. It’s tough to believe the government didn’t know about their plans of leaving the country. Moving from one city to another is difficult enough. When that is the case, moving out of the country hoodwinking authorities across Passport, Visa, Customs and others is highly complicated unless those in power allow this to happen.
There is proof to believe the current and preceding government have a role in this bank looting issue. Industrialists like Mallya and Nirav Modi have contributed a lot to the dark phase that national banks are in today. It’s because of them that the banks are on the verge of bankruptcy. Modi government has waived off Rs 3 lakh cr corporate loans. And there are more number of people who have fled the country after milking our banks. Though the Scotland Yard cops have arrested Nirav Modi, it is difficult to get him handed over into Indian custody because India is still struggling bad to get Mallya extradited from Britain. Mallya is also a London citizen so things have turned even more complicated. Yet the legal steps relating to Mallya’s case are not even complete. Nirav Modi has been given permission to live in London for the next five years under golden visa. Hence the foreign affairs ministry has its job cut out on this task. Not just Nirav, his uncle Mehul Choksi is also needed by India and his whereabouts are a mystery now. Things have to be expedited to check his current location.
Economically the country is on the verge of collapse under the rule of RSS-dominant BJP. Modi has been lying about the economic health by presenting fudged numbers. Demonetisation that was done without the RBI permission has brought the country on its knees. Modi government’s role in Rafale deal is suspicious. Though the BJP leaders are saying Modi is not at fault, the government was taken aback when The Hindu presented facts regarding this deal. AG said to the SC that the papers were lost and this became a laughing stock, and his next statement was that the records were copied. Modi govt failed to fulfil promises made to people. Inflation, price rise has been unchecked. Now to cover for its inadequacies, Modi government is using Nirav arrest case to hide behind.
Modi never met the aggrieved directly in the last so many years he was in power nor did he even address a single press conference. Now he has started a “main bhi chowkidar’ kind of comedy show. He is doing all kinds of circus to be reelected to Parliament. Nirav Modi arrest is also one such circus. By doing things like this, RSS agenda would be quietly implemented. Swami Aseemanand’s acquittal and release in Samjhauta rail blast case has raised many suspicions. Having made mistakes like this, Modi government has heavily compromised upon CBI, RBI and such agencies to its benefit. Bringing Nirav Modi to India has rife with complications. But BJP workers should not allow this to be used for elections.

London, Nov 22: A bomb disposal squad deployed as a “precaution” to the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport concluded an investigation into a "security incident" on Friday after making a “suspect package” safe.
The South Terminal of Gatwick Airport, the UK's second busiest airport after Heathrow, which was briefly shut owing to the incident reopened following the incident.
The Gatwick is around 45 km south of London.
Two people detained during the enquiries have since been allowed to continue their journey as the airport was opened.
“Police have concluded their investigation into a report of a suspect package at Gatwick Airport. Officers from the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team made the package safe, and the airport has been handed back to its operator,” Sussex Police said in an updated statement.
“Two people detained while enquiries were ongoing have subsequently been allowed to continue their journeys. There will remain an increased police presence in the area to assist with passengers accessing the South Terminal for onward travel,” the statement added.
Earlier on Friday, the incident caused severe disruption at the busy airport’s South Terminal, while the North Terminal of Gatwick Airport remained unaffected.
“Police were called to the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport at 8.20 am on Friday (November 22) following the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage,” a Sussex Police statement said.
“To ensure the safety of the public, staff and other airport users, a security cordon has been put in place whilst the matter is dealt with. As a precaution, an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team is being deployed to the airport. This is causing significant disruption and some roads around the South Terminal have been closed. We’d advise the public to avoid the area where possible,” it said.
Footage on social media taken outside the airport showed crowds of frustrated travellers being moved away from the terminal building.
Gatwick said it was working hard to resolve the issue.
“A large part of the South Terminal has been evacuated as a precaution while we continue to investigate a security incident," the airport said in a social media post.
“Passengers will not be able to enter the South Terminal while this is ongoing. The safety and security of our passengers and staff remain our top priority. We are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.”
Train and bus services that serve the airport were also impacted while the police carried out their inquiries.
In an unrelated incident in south London on Friday morning, the US Embassy area in Nine Elms by the River Thames was the scene of a controlled explosion by Scotland Yard dealing with what they believe may have been a “hoax device”.
“We can confirm the 'loud bang' reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers,” the Metropolitan Police said in a post on X.
“Initial indications are that the item was a hoax device. An investigation will now follow. Some cordons will remain in place for the time being but the majority of the police response will now be stood down,” it added.
