Rafale deal: Congress demands JPC probe, alleges cover-up by Modi Govt
The Congress on Tuesday accused the Modi government of trying to “cover-up” corruption in the Rafale fighter jet deal and demanded a JPC probe into it, asking why it did not investigate the role of a middleman despite recovering incriminating documents from him.
The remarks came after French investigative portal Mediapart in fresh revelations alleged bogus invoices were used that enabled French aircraft maker Dassault Aviation to pay at least 7.5 million euros in secret commissions to a middleman to help it secure the Rafale deal with India.
The report claimed that commissions were paid between 2007 and 2012 for securing the Rafale deal with India.
