The Prime Minister's Office today rubbished media reports about alleged misconduct of Home Minister Rajnath Singh's son Pankaj Singh.

The PMO in a statement dubbed these reports as plain lies, motivated and malicious attempt to tarnish the image of the government.

The statement came in the wake of a media report that Rajnath Singh was unhappy over rumours about his son being pulled up by Prime Minister Narendra Modi over some alleged misconduct.

The PMO said, those indulging in such rumour-mongering were damaging the interest of the nation.
