The Congress on Wednesday sought an FIR against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Rafale deal under the Prevention of Corruption Act, claiming the Indian negotiation team’s report made it clear that he had “looted the nation’s treasury”.
The frontal attack comes days after the Congress shed its post-Pulwama restraint on criticising the government.
“There is now enough evidence to prosecute the PM in the #RafaleScam. The trail of corruption begins & ends with him. That crucial Rafale files incriminating him are now reported ‘stolen’ by the Govt, is destruction of evidence & an obvious coverup,” party president Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
