Shatrughan Sinha needles the government on Nirav Modi's presence on the podium with the PM at Davos.

"Dear Sir. In many official functions, including MY OWN Patna University Centenary Celebration, I, the sitting MP of Patna, was not allowed (along with luminous alumni Yashwant Sinha & others) to be on the dias with the PM, since we were not on the "list" approved by PMO. According to our Ministry, Nirav Modi was not invited to Davos!! But he was very much with you on the dias. I just want to be enlightened!! Was the "ever so vigilant PMO" sleeping this time? Or did it dive deep like always into the "Kundli" of Nirav and  till allowed him to be with you & your August group. Do enlighten the nation please!"


Nirav Modis picture with the CEO delegation posing with the prime minister was tweeted by both the Ministry of External Affairs and PMO Twitter handles. The MEA wrote: Together we can! PM narendramodi with Indian CEOs present at the World Economic Forum working hand-in-hand towards a brighter future for the country."


The government launched a high-decibel damage control exercise, with ministers claiming that Nirav Modi was not a part of the PMO delegation but just happened to get into the picture.
