Intention of Rafale petitioners is to present incomplete picture: Def Min
The petitioners in the Rafale deal case are using certain documents with the intention to present a selective and incomplete picture of internal secret deliberations relating to national security, the Defence Ministry said, in its reaction to the Supreme Court’s order on the contentious issue.
The apex court on Wednesday rejected the government’s contention that sensitive documents accessed by the media on the Rafale deal can’t be evidence and said it will examine the papers while reviewing its order of December 14 last year when a clean chit was given to the deal.
The top court said review petitions against its earlier verdict dismissing all petitions against procurement of Rafale jets will be decided on merits.
