Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on the Nirav Modi scam.

"I wish to make it very clear and this I can also convey on behalf of the government that nobody shall be spared in the banking system who has sought to derail the ordinary banking system to help Nirav Modi. This is regardless of stature and status of concerned official.


"The Congress using words like 'Chhota Modi' is not acceptable. BJP takes strong offence to the language used. It is derogatory.


"Even we have many pictures of Congress leaders with Mehul Choksi. But we don't want to stoop to that level. What is chhota Modi? There are lots of people by that surname in the country. 


"Nirav Modi's assets worth Rs 13,000 crore to be frozen, his passport to be revoked. Congress should not stoop to photo politics.


"Congress photo ki rajneeti bandh kare. Many good and cosy photographs of many of the Congress leaders with Mehul Choksi is available with us, but we don't want to stoop to that level.


"Nirav Modi did not meet PM Modi at Davos. He had arrived in Davos on his own and was present at the CII group photo event."
