New Delhi: Whistle-blower Julian Assange-founded website WikiLeaks on Monday said it never endorsed BJP’s prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi as “incorruptible".
In a series of tweets, WikiLeaks claimed it never said Modi was incorruptible. “...rather he is popular because he is ‘viewed´ as ‘incorruptible´," WikiLeaks tweeted.
The whistle-blower website’s clarification came in the backdrop of some BJP supporters circulating posters quoting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange saying: “America is scared of Modi because he is incorruptible."
The BJP, however, downplayed the WikiLeaks tweets.
“We don’t need a certificate from Wikileaks or Assange on Modiji," BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.
