The Nation was misled, the media was used as a tool:Jaitley

Leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha and Gujarat MP Arun Jaitley on Monday said the media persons in Gandhinagar that the nation was misled on the issue of SIT’s summons to Narendra Modi.

“The media of this country was used as a tool to spread lie that Modi was called by Supreme Court appointed Special Investigation Team on 21 March. For last two days the media was catering false news,” Jaitley said.

Jaitley said the PIL petitioners, and the media have responsibility to see that the process of justice should not be interfered. But in this case, they created a wrong picture that Modi was called on 21st and he didn’t go.

“They don’t ask SIT of any agency to verify the fact. Now the media should try to correct it, so that the people could know the truth,” Jaitley added.
