As Raghuram Rajan continues facing heat from some sections of BJP, leading industry body CII on Thursday backed a second term for RBI Governor, saying he has done a great job for the country and personal attacks on him are "demeaning".

Naushad Forbes, president of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), echoed Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's stand that personal attacks are unwarranted.I would only repeat what Finance Minister has said that I don't think personal attacks are warranted. I don't think they serve us well at all as a country. They in a sense actually are demeaning. So I agree with him 100%," he said.

Forbes, who is part of a high-level industry delegation accompanying Jaitley on the six-day visit to Japan to drum up investments, said he did not take a continuous attack by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Rajan seriously and treats his comments as noise that are part of a vibrant democracy.
