Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today rejected Aam Aadmi party's (AAP) charges of giving contract for printing of new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes to a blacklisted company, saying his ministry has no dealing with the British company named in the "false" social media campaign.

"Another false campaign on the social media by the AAP. Ministry of Finance has no dealings with the British Company named in this campaign," Jaitley said in a tweet.

Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal retweeted a tweet of @AamAadmiParty, which said, "Biggest currency printing order of Independent India has been given by Modi Govt to a blacklisted Co."
 

Earlier AAPExpress tweeted that "According to reports Delarue has been hired to print the new 500 2000 notes".

"It is shocking to note that the company Delarue was mentioned in the blacklist of Panama list," it added.
