Reports do not reflect spirit of my CAG meet speech: Jaitley

'News reports of my speech at the CAG conference do not accurately reflect the spirit of my speech,’ Jaitley said in a Facebook post.

The finance minister has also uploaded the link of the speech he delivered at the valedictory meet of the annual Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) conference here on Friday.

Jaitley in his speech had said the government auditor should not sensationalise its findings to get into headlines.

‘Auditor should be conscious of the fact that he is reviewing a decision that has already been taken. Have the fair procedures been followed?

‘He doesn’t have to sensationalise. He doesn’t have to get into the headlines,’ he had said.
Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Thursday took a dig at Jaitley for asking the CAG not to sensationalise its findings to get into headlines.

‘CAG should not sensationalise its findings,’- Arun Jaitley. Wish he had realised this when 2G and coal block CAG reports came!’, the Congress general secretary said on Twitter.
