‘Goyal Not Jay Shah’s CA’: Yashwant Sinha Slams BJP

Yashwant Sinha also asserted that the defamation suit was an attempt to suppress the voice of the media.

BJP veteran Yashwant Sinha criticised his party's strong defence of its president Amit Shah's son, saying the high moral ground it had acquired all these years appears to have been lost.

The former finance minister, who has turned strong critic of the Modi government’s economic policies, objected to the filing of a Rs 100 crore defamation suit against The Wire, which carried a story on Jay Shah’s business.

Such an attempt to suppress the voice of the media was avoidable, he told reporters in New Delhi.
