The government will bring back diamantaires Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi, who triggered the Rs 12,600 crore fraud at state-run Punjab National Bank. defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Thursday and asserted NDA had provided a corruption-free government.

We need a digital policy that serves the long-term interests of Indians and not of global monopolies,” he said.
