I said Lalit Modi case was simple and silly, not Vyapam: Gowda

July 07, 2015 17:17

Law Minister Sadananda Gowda now says that he had said that the Lalit Modi's case was "simple and silly", not the Vyapam case.

It was widely reported today that Gowda at a press conference said that the Prime Minister need not speak on all "silly issues". Gowda made the remark while answering questions about the PM's silence on the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh.

Responding to a query about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence over Vyapam scam, he said: "The state has initiated probe. The deaths are a matter of concern, but law and order is state subject. See, the Prime Minister need not answer on silly issues," Gowda said.

"The concerned ministers and party president have answered. For each silly issue asking the Prime Minister to answer is not fair," he added.
