SC’s Rafale ruling calls for JPC probe; BJP celebrating prematurely: Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the Supreme Court verdict has opened a “huge door” into investigation of the “Rafale scam” and demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the fighter jet deal.

Gandhi tweeted: “Justice Joseph of the Supreme Court has opened a huge door into investigation of the RAFALE scam. An investigation must now begin in full earnest. A Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) must also be set up to probe this scam,” he posted.

The Congress party also said the BJP has been celebrating the Rafale verdict without studying the judgement properly and added that through its verdict the Supreme Court had “opened the gates for investigation” of the fighter jet deal by agencies.
