‘Govt has no option but order JPC probe into Rafale deal’: AK Anthony

Continuing the attack on the government over the alleged scam in the Rafale deal, senior Congress leader and former defence minister AK Antony on Monday said the government’s silence points towards mal-intent to hush up the “corruption” and remarked that the government has no option but to order a probe by a joint parliamentary committee into the matter.

“The intriguing silence of the Modi government points towards mal-intent to hush up the corruption. The refusal of the BJP government to probe and punish the guilty is even more astonishing, pointing towards a concerted effort to bury the scam,” Antony said in a press release.
