TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress president Rahul Gandhi asserted that the probe into the “missing” Rafale files should begin from Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who had claimed the files related to the deal were in his possession.
Parrikar was the Defence Minister when India signed the Rafale deal with France. The Centre has told the Supreme Court that some documents related to the multi-billion deal have been “stolen”. Addressing a meeting of the opposition party’s booth committee workers, Gandhi also said, that like the ‘missing’ Rafale files, government in Goa is also missing.
Manohar Parrikar had told the Cabinet that the
Rafale files are with him,” Rahul Gandhi said referring to a purported
audio conversation between Goa minister Vishwajit Rane and an unidentified
caller that had references to the deal.On
Wednesday, Rahul demanded an FIR against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in
connection with the Rafale fighter jets deal, asserting that there is
“enough evidence to prosecute him.”
