Indian-American businessman praises Manmohan Singh for his clean image

New Delhi, Jan 7 (ANI): In the wake of anti-graft protests led by veteran social activist Anna Hazare, Indian-American businessman Sant Singh Chatwal has praised Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh for maintaining a spotless image.

"See, Anna Hazare is talking about this (corruption) today, but Dr. (Manmohan) Singh is saying about this for the last 30 to 40 years. Dr. Singh's image is the cleanest," he told the media here on Friday.

Chatwal also stressed that policy changes are the need of the hour to draw investors back to India.But these are temporary opposition to FDI in retail and the changes that are not coming in other sectors, this is not good for India. But the countries across the globe have faith in India. This is only a matter time. Suitable changes will take place after elections," he added.

The NRI Hotelier further said that his firm Chatwal Hotels and Resorts plans to open up boutique hotel brand soon in India.

Commenting on the nuclear liability bill, he hoped that both India and US would work together to sort out contentious issues in the deal.

"The Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) tried hard to get the nuclear deal approved in the Parliament. But American investors are skeptical about the liability issue," said Chatwal.

"Some solution can be found for it because due to the liability issue no American investor will come to invest here. So, India should work together (with U.S.) to resolve this matter," he added. (ANI)
