Narendra Modi Takes Dig At Sonia Gandhi's Son-in-Law Robert Vadra

IANS, 17 Jul, 2015 11:37 AM
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday took a dig at Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, referring to the "embarrassment" that in-laws often face from sons-in-law in politics.
     
    Speaking here at the birth centenary of late Congress leader Girdhari Lal Dogra, he said Dogra "must have been a great judge of human beings" as was apparent in his choosing a son-in-law like Arun Jaitley, now the union finance minister.
     
    "In today's politics, you otherwise see the embarrassment sons-in-law cause to their in-laws," he said in an obvious dig at Vadra, whose land deals in Haryana are under the scanner.
