NEW DELHI: RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on India being an economy which is trying to get it right does not fit well with incidents like that of love jihad and killings.
“The emphasis that Prime Minister and Finance Minister have been putting on this being an economy which is trying to get it right and move forward on sustainable basis. I think that does not fit well with these kinds of incidents. And we need to figure out the way to reduce and certainly, I think, there is law and order issue there,” Rajan said in interview to Karan Thapar on India Today channel.
He was asked whether India’s image was being impacted on incidents like love jihad, conversion, ghar vapsi and the rec ..
He however said that he thought there were always issues on the fringe. “I think the Finance Minister has said very clearly that these tend to distract rather than contribute. And clearly these are certainly worrisome features which have to be dealt with on the basis of law and order” he said
Raghuram Rajan on Tuesday said that he connected “very well” with Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. He said, “People try to emphasise differences, rather than the large areas of commonality. My relationship with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is of the highest order since he moved into office.”
