For Congress, family is above all, says Jaitley

Apparently hinting at RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's conviction in the fodder scam case, Jaitely said those for whom  the ordinance was brought, they got punished and now the Congress leaders “are hiding their faces but this situation was created by themselves”.



Not naming Rahul Gandhi, Jaitely said that after all this ”he came and said the ordinance was unacceptable. He tarnished the image of PM and the cabinet ministers.”

Modi had on Sunday accused Rahul of committing the “sin” of insulting the Prime Minister when he was abroad and asked people to decide in the next Lok Sabha polls if the nation will be run based on the Constitution or whims of the ”prince”.

Criticising the meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistan counterpart Nawaz Sharif in Washington, Jaitley said the Prime Minister is not taken seriously either inside the country or outside.
