Rafale deal: Will go to people’s court, says Ghulam Nabi Azad

HYDERABAD: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Wednesday attacked the NDA Government for not agreeing to a JPC probe into alleged irregulatiries in the Rafale fighter jet deal and said they would now go to the ‘people’s court’.

“One court is Parliament. We failed there. Not in raising, (in) obtaining an answer. We sought an inquiry. Government refused. We sought a JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee). That was refused. When all these things are refused…Now we are going to the people’s court,” he said.

Azad stated this to reporters here when asked whether the Congress planned to move the Supreme Court on the issue.

He alleged that media is not able to freely report on the fighter jet deal with NDA at the helm.

Congress has been attacking the NDA Government, alleging a “scam” in the Rafale deal. (AGENCIES)
