Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of acting as a middleman for Anil Ambani in the Rafale jet deal. He cited an email to claim that the businessman was aware of the MoU before India and France signed it.
Ambani’s knowledge of a defence deal under preparation, which even the then defence minister had said he was not aware of, is in violation of the Official Secrets Act, Rahul alleged at a news conference, and said this “puts Modi in jail”.
Only Modi could have told Ambani about the deal in advance, he alleged.
