TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ A belligerent Congress Monday again sought to raise the issue of alleged scam in the Rafale deal in the Lok Sabha, with Home Minister Rajnath Singh saying that repeating a lie would not make it a truth. Congress members have been raising the Rafale deal issue since the start of the Winter Session of Parliament on December 11, demanding that a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) should probe the matter.
During the Zero Hour, party members trooped into the Well displaying placards and shouting slogans on the matter. Raising the issue, senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said there has been a scam in the deal and asked why the government was not disclosing the price of jets.
He also demanded a JPC probe into the issue amid loud protests from BJP members. In response, Singh said repeating the same lie again and again would not make it a truth. The government is ready for discussion on the matter but why is the Congress running way, the minister asked.
