With both Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Secretary Hasmukh Adhia absent from the Finance Ministry at the same time, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a dig at the Government with a mock letter to the FM and signed off by the ‘Prime Minister’ saying it had been decided that the Ministry would be shut till further notice.
latching on to a news report about the absence of the two, Rahul’s note on Twitter — addressed to the “FM” and signed off by the “Prime Minister” — said it had been decided that the ministry would be shut till further notice.
The news report which Rahul posted along with his tweet maintained that Jaitley has not attended office for a month because of a kidney ailment while Adhia has taken leave till May 20 to do yoga and meditation with Swami Visharadanand Saraswathy in Mysuru.
“Dear FM, as you are indisposed and Finance Secretary is on vacation with his Guru on a quest for inner peace, I have decided to shut the Finance Ministry till further notice,” he tweeted. “The PMO will take all financial policy decisions as before. Prime Minister,” he wrote.
