"Arun Jaitley must be dismissed as the Finance Minister for black money to be recovered," advocate Ram Jethmalani told a packed house on the last day of the Jaipur Literature Festival at the Diggi Palace on Sunday afternoon.
Talking about his bucket list wishes, 91-year-old Jethmalani said he had two things in his bucket-list, one of which is accomplished and the prospect of the other, disappointing. "My first bucket-list wish was to knock the earlier UPA government out. That’s done because of the great efforts of Narendra Modi and I’m very happy," the advocate Jethmalani, who was in conversation with journalist Madhu Trehan and writer Shobhaa De in a session titled ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ based on his recently released biography (The Rebel: A Biography of Ram Jethmalani by Susan Adelman), said, "Modi is an avatar sent to us by god."
However, Jethmalani was quick to remind the audience that Modi’s responsibility does not come to end only by coming to power. "In one of my columns after the election results I congratulated Modi and said that now he should fulfil all the promises he had to the people of this country," he said.
On the second item of his list, Jethmalani said, "I want to get the several thousand crores of black money stashed away in foreign banks." But, he said, he was disappointed by the efforts taken by the Modi government in this regard. "To bring back the black money, Modi has appointed undeserving people," he said.
