After the Congress Vice-President, Rahul Gandhi posed three question pertaining to the purchase of 36 Rafael Fighter Aircrafts, he received a strong warning from the Reliance Defence Limited. The Defence Minister and Indian Air Force Chief also responded strongly to Rahul Gandhi’s comments.
Rahul Gandhi in his twitter post alleged that ‘Dear RM (Raksha Mantri, Nirmala Seetharaman), what’s shameful is your boss silencing you’. He put three questions to the Defence Minister.
- Reveal the final price of each Rafael Jet
- Did the Prime Minister, Modi take the permission of CCS (Cabinet Committee on Security) before announcing the purchase of Rafael Jets in Paris?
- Finally, why did the PM choose AA rated businessman with no experience over HAL?
Nirmala Seetharaman responded stating, ‘the price of each Rafael Jet is undoubtedly and absolutely lower than what was negotiated under the UPA Regime. Modi did take the clearance from the CCS with the active participation of Manohar Parrikar, then Defence Minister.
Indian Air Force Chief, BS Dhanoa denied that the Rafael Jets were overpriced. He further made critical comments. ‘The technology may not go to the HAL. But it is going to the DRDO – Defence Research and Development Organization and the people of the nation.’
Even the RDL – Reliance Defence Limited threatened to take legal action against individuals and the party if they try to defame the company by passing defamatory allegation.
