CAG has allowed itself to become a joke: Chidambaram on Rafale deal
NEW DELHI: Former finance minister P Chidambaram on Thursday slammed the CAG report on the Rafale deal as “useless”, saying the institution has allowed itself to become a “joke”.
The report contains no useful information or conclusion and its motive is to hide the truth, the senior Congress leader told reporters.
He reiterated his party’s demand for a joint parliamentary committee probe into the deal, saying only it can call for all relevant records.
The CAG is not God, he said, apparently rejecting the ruling BJP’s contention that the national auditor’s report should be the final word on the contentious issue.
