Ahmedabad, 28 July 2012

Gujarat Congress President Arjun Modhwadia today sought central vigilance commission probe into the foreign tour of Narendra Modi led business delegation to Japan.

Modhwadia said Modi lied that he was invited by the Prime Minister of Japan. He said the Prime Minister of Japan didn’t meet Modi during his five-day visit.

Modhwadia said Modi’s Japan tour was intended to take political benefit in December 2012 elections.

He said that the Chief Minister kept India and Japan’s national flags in the backgrounds in rented conference rooms and tried to create a scene like two Prime Ministers are meeting each other.

Modhwadia said none was there to meet Modi in Japan, and representatives of only those Japan business groups that have interest in Gujarat were present.

Modhwadia said continuous propaganda of Modi’s visit was done through Gujarati TV channels.

Modhwadia demanded white paper on Modi’s Japan visit.
