AMN /
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today termed the attacks on RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan and some top finance ministry officials by party MP as “inappropriate”.
“Whether it is in my party or not, still I think such things are inappropriate. This fondness for publicity is never going to do any good to the nation. People should conduct themselves with utmost responsibility. If anybody considers himself above the system, it is wrong,” the Prime Minister told Times Now.
Without taking the name of Swamy, Modi was asked about the comments of “your Rajya Sabha MP” in the context of Raghuram Rajan and queried whether it was appropriate.
The Prime Minister’s comments assume significance in the context of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and the BJP distancing themselves from Swamy’s recent attacks on Raghuram Rajan, Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramananian and Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das.
The BJP MP also had made some carping comments about Mr. Jaitley without taking his name.
