Cong alleges scam in Rafale deal, demands disclosure of details

NEW DELHI: The Congress today accused the NDA Government of compromising national interest and security with the Rafale fighter aircraft deal, saying that a scam “was brewing” as there was no transparency in the negotiations.

Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the Government is not ready to disclose the price of the Rafale aircraft in Parliament, which raises doubts on its intent.

“Modi Government is indulging in an unforgivable game of compromising ‘national interests’ and ‘national security’. A ‘huge scam’ is brewing in the procurement of fighter aircraft for Indian Air Force,” he alleged

“Grave apprehensions and claims of insurmountable loss being caused to public exchequer are in public domain with the Government refusing to state the truth,” Azad told reporters. (AGENCIES)
