Dadri-like incidents hurt country's image: Jaitley

October 06, 2015 10:04

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has condemned the lynching of a man over beef eating rumour in UP, saying such incidents hurt the country's image. "India is a mature society. We need to rise above these kinds of incidents because they certainly don't give a good name as far as the country is concerned," he said.

He was responding when asked to comment on the lynching incident in Dadri which has happened at a time when the government was wooing foreign investors. "I have also said they can amount to policy diversions in that context so it is the responsibility of every Indian in his actions or comments to stay clear of unfortunate and condemnable instances like this," the senior BJP leader said.
