Party's top leaders L.K. Advani, Nitin Gadkari, Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley on Thursday night decided to decline Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's invitation for lunch.

Mr. Advani telephoned Pranab Mukherjee [Finance Minister] to inform him of our decision not to attend the lunch, and we also sent word to the Prime Minister's Office,” Ms. Swaraj said adding: “We could not be lunching with the Prime Minister while the government was misusing the CBI against Amit Shah. It would not have been appropriate.”

Mr. Jaitley said, “The strategy of the UPA was to allow a media trial of Amit Shah, feed the people with half-truths through the media, create a prejudicial environment, use this to further its vote-bank politics [among Muslims] and break up the Opposition unity on the price rise and other issues.”

Mr. Jaitley said: “The facts are concocted and false.”
