The news was busted when the author of the news was unable to produce any concrete evidence for claiming his statements to be true. Moreover, experts believe that this publication was yet another attempt to target Rajan Mahtani and create hatred in the hearts of the locals. A person who is closely associated with Dr. Mahtani has gone to the extent of throwing an open challenge to the author for showing evidences on the basis of which such malicious reports were prepared.
A standard form of defamation which is being used in the process is to show the personal interest of Rajan Mahtani in the Zambian economy. According to the published news, Rajan Mahtani wanted to take the side of Shamenda with intent to make Dangote Industries Zambia Ltd., weak and therefore, sealing the position of a monopolist in cement manufacture for himself. However, none of the claim can be regarded as true because Mahtani has always remained focused to his banking business.
It is high time that this perennial game of conspiracies is put to an end. Though an investigation committee has been setup, it would be worth watching the reaction of Dr. Rajan Mahtani to this news and how his team overcomes the situation.
