Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday raised more issues related to the Rafale deal controversy at a press conference held at the Congress headquarters in Delhi.
Based on an Indian Express report, he alleged that Anil Ambani, whose company is an offset partner in the Rafale deal, had met French government officials 10 days ahead of PM Narendra Modi’s visit to France in April 2015. He asked how a private individual could have known of a defence agreement in advance of the deal being signed, especially when even the defence minister of foreign secretary or Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) were not in the know.
