"Not Right At All": Nirmala Sitharaman On "Anti-National" Barb At Infosys

The Panchajanya questions in a cover story in its latest issue whether an "anti-national" conspiracy was behind the glitches in the portal set up by the company.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that an article in RSS-linked publication "Panchajanya" alleging a "conspiracy" behind glitches in the tax-filing website handled by Infosys was "not right". The Panchajanya questions in a cover story in its latest issue whether an "anti-national" conspiracy was behind the glitches in the portal set up by the company. "That wasn't right. I think they have also made a statement distancing themselves from whoever wrote it. I think that's not called for and rightly people have withdrawn from it. It wasn't right at all," Nirmala Sitharaman told CNN-News18 in an interview.  The Finance Minister also said the government was working with Infosys to fix the problem.
