Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday launched a fresh attack on the central government alleging corruption and malfeasance in the purchase of Rafale fighter jets from French aircraft manufacturing company Dassault Aviation.
The Supreme Court Wednesday allowed leaked documents to be relied upon by petitioners seeking review of its Rafale judgement and dismissed the government’s preliminary objections claiming “privilege” over them.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday asked why can’t Prime Minister Narendra Modi be investigated since it is “written” in the Defence Ministry files that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO ) carried out “parallel negotiations” in the Rafale deal.
The Congress Wednesday launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rafale aircraft deal, alleging that he misused his office to “benefit” Dassault Aviation and that a case under the prevention of corruption law is made out against him.
The Congress on Monday said the Rafale deal is “unravelling” faster than the government thought, with issues such as “parallel negotiations” by the PMO and changes in the standard defence procurement procedure coming to the fore.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday demanded action on ailing Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar for allegedly being in possession of files related to the Rafale deal.
Stepping up his attack on the Modi government over the Rafale deal, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused it of weakening state-run aerospace major HAL and destroying India’s strategic capability to benefit businessman Anil Ambani.
Rajya Sabha member and JD-U leader Tyagi, however, said: “Nothing was found in the Bofors scam and nothing would be found in Rafale too,” said Tyagi while talking to.
The Supreme Court order on the Rafale jet deal issue Friday rocked the Rajya Sabha which witnessed intense sloganeering by the ruling BJP and opposition Congress members leading to adjournment of House proceedings.
