PMO rejects Modi's claim on Sir Creek

December 12, 2012 21:44

Prime Minister's Office today rejected a claim by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi that Sir Creek was being "handed over" to Pakistan, terming it as"mischievous" and questioned its timing.

Responding to a letter written by Modi to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, PMO said, "Allegation in the letter that SirCreek is about to be given to Pakistan is untrue... The other conclusions drawn by Shri Modi on this alleged fact are also not real."

Raising question over timing of the letter, PMO said, "The contents of the letter and the timing of its release to the public raise questions about the motives behind its issue...The writing and release of this baseless letter by the CM of Gujarat in his "personal" capacity, a day before elections, is mischievous."
