Arun Jaitley advises Priyanka Gandhi on personal attacks

"I completely agree with Mrs.Vadra that personal attacks pain people and should be avoided. But good advice, like charity, always begins at home," said Jaitley referring to personal attacks on BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi by Congressmen and Rahul Gandhi.

In his latest blog, Arun Jaitley said: "Mrs Priyanka Vadra claims not to be in politics. She helps her mother and brother in their constituencies which she is entitled to. Yesterday, she commented that she was pained at the personal attacks on her husband Mr.Robert Vadra, who has been in controversy over the nature of his investments. Prima facie, it is the case of investments without original capital and an unprecedented return. There is obviously something much more than meets the eye."

Jaitley blogged: "Mrs. Vadra is right that personal attacks pain people and should be avoided. I wish her political friends should also realize this. If they had realized it, her brother would not have made Mr.Narendra Modi's so called child marriage into a public issue."

"The Congress party would not have made security to a lady in Ahemdabad into a 'snoopgate' issue. In a case where courts have found that there is not even enough case to register an FIR against Mr.Modi, the Congress party would not have carried on campaign for 12 long years based on falsehood and fabrications. Certainly, if the mother had listened to her daughter, she would not have called Mr.Modi 'Maut Ka Saudagar'."
