The main opposition party on Wednesday also questioned the “alacrity” withwhichthePMOrespondedto the ET report about the home minister being upset by rumours that his son Pankaj Singh had been ticked off by Modi for alleged misconduct.

“First, the home minister says the allegations against his son were all wrong. Rajnath Singhji even says he will quit politics even if there is prima facie evidence. Soon thereafter, the prime minister’s tweet said the same that allegations against Singh’s son are untrue…So the country and the Congress party want the prime minister and the home minister should first of all say what the allegations are that you are denying,” Congress general secretary Ajay Maken said at a press conference.

Maken added, “We would like to know from Rajnathji who levelled these allegations against his son.”
