After a day of high drama in parliament, Congress president
Rahul Gandhi, addressing the media urged for an instant joint parliamentary committee probe(JPC) into the Rafale deal.
"They keep asking where does Congress get the 1600 crore per aircraft figure, let me tell you from where. Jaitley ji in his speech in Parliament had said the deal is 58000 crore, so divide this by 36, what figure do you get? 1600 crore," said Rahul Gandhi.
Earlier in the day the parliament witnessed a lot of commotion over a purported audio tape in which Goa health minister, Vishwajit Rane admits that CM Manohar Parrikar said he has complete information of
Rafale scam.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in the
Lok Sabha said the tape is "false and fabricated", asking the
Congress president if he can authenticate.
The Congress leader also rejected Modi's claim in an interview that there was no personal allegation against him, saying this is not true as the entire nation is asking him direct question.
During the session today, Rahul Gandhi put forward "four questions" related to the Rafale deal for 36 jet fighters, repeating his allegations that the government settled for a less-than-favourable deal to help industrialist Anil Ambani.
