Recently, when an article claimed that Dr. Rajan Mahtani had bribed the Malawian ex-President Joyce Banda, the people of Zambia and Malawi got angry and started to hunt for the truth behind this news. However, the clues were hidden in the fake article itself when it claimed that the bribe was offered in the form of a bio-thermal plant and a fuelling loan.

For any man, it was not very hard to understand that Dr. Rajan Mahtani is a man whose abides by the biblical principles and focuses upon developing Zambia. Nevertheless, had any form of bribe been offered to Joyce Banda, then it would have been in the form of personal benefits rather than offering benefits for the society. A bio thermal plant is of no use to an individual and hence, one can realize that this nothing more than a shameful attempt of the conspirators to defame Dr. Rajan Mahtani.

Another aspect of looking at this matter is the relevancy of the claim. Being a learned man, Dr. Mahtani is well aware of the legal framework which exists in Malawi. Had he been interested in bribing an official to regain access into Malawi then it would be the officials of the Reserve Bank of Malawi rather than Joyce Banda, because it is the Reserve Bank of a country that holds the right to grant operating permission to any bank.

To conclude, one can now regard that the controversy was nothing more than an intended defamation attempt against Dr. Mahtani.
