SFIO gave clean chit to finance minister: BJP

After AAP launched a sharp attack on Jaitley, BJP fielded Smriti Irani to mount a counter attack.

New Delhi: Staunchly defending Arun Jaitley, whose resignation has been sought by AAP and Congress for alleged financial bunglings in DDCA, the BJP on Thursday asserted that it “resolutely stands behind” the finance minister who has an “impeccable” political record.

After AAP launched a sharp attack on Jaitley, BJP fielded Smriti Irani to mount a counter attack in which she described the charges as a “blasphemous and preposterous campaign bordering on political hysteria” being created to deflect the public attention from a “corrupt officer” working with Delhi Chief Minister Arvin Kejriwal.

She also quoted from Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) probe into DDCA affairs done during the UPA tenure to claim that it had given Jaitley a clean chit.
