Again Rahul questions PM's silence on PNB fraud in 'Mann ki Baat'
New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday again attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his silence on the multi-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud and Rafale fighter jet deal, saying the country wants to hear about these issues in his 'Mann Ki Baat'.
"Modiji, last month you ignored my suggestions for your 'Mann Ki Baat' monologue. Why ask for ideas when in your heart you know every Indian wants to hear you speak about Nirav Modi's Rs 22,000 crore loot and scoot and the Rs 58,000 crore Rafale scam.
"I look forward to your sermon," Gandhi said in a tweet attaching a picture of Modi's tweet urging people to share ideas for his monthly radio programme 'Mann ki Baat'.
On Tuesday too, Gandhi had attacked the Prime Minister during his election rally in Meghalaya. "I would like to request this Modi (the Prime Minister), on behalf of all of us, to bring back the other Modi (Nirav), when he goes on another of his many foreign trips.
"We will all be very grateful as a nation to get our hard-earned money back," the Congress chief said.
"A few years ago, Modi sold dreams to the people of India. Dreams of 'achche din', Rs 15 lakh in everyone's bank account, two crore jobs, and so on," the Congress leader said.
Nirav Modi fled the country just before the scam -- in which he allegedly cheated the bank of over Rs 11,300 crore -- came to light. The ruling BJP and the Congress have been trading charges over who detected and acted against the fraud.

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
