Shatrughan Sinha urges PM Modi to come clean on Rafale deal

Bharatiya Janata Party parliamentarian from Patna Sahib, Shatrughan Sinha, on Thursday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to break his silence on controversial Rafale deal. He was of the opinion that he (Modi) should speak and clarify the government’s stance before it goes out of hands.

Expressing his opinion, Sinha took to Twitter and wrote, “Sir ji! Please break your silence and contradict former French President Hollande (since both of you were present in meeting)….otherwise people will think he is speaking the truth.”

The lawmaker from Patna Sahib was referring to the the acquisition of 36 Rafale jets by the Indian government by signing a deal with the French government in 2016. Prime Minister had met President Francois Hollande for the deal and then Union finance minister Manohar Parrikar met his French counterpart.

Opposition Congress had accused the BJP-led central government for alleged discrepancies in the deal and alleged that the government made Rs 58,000 crore corruption to benefit their business friend Anil Ambani. On Thursday too, Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter and shared a satirical poetry on Modi-Ambani relationship.

मोदी-अंबानी का देखो खेल
HAL से छीन लिया राफेल
धन्नासेठों की कैसी भक्ति
घटा दिया सेना की शक्ति
जिस अफसर ने चोरी से रोका
ठगों के सरदार ने उसको ठोका
पिट्ठुओं को मिली शाबाशी
सेठों ने उड़ती चिड़िया फाँसी

जन-जन में फैल रही है सनसनी
मिलकर रोकेंगे लुटेरों की कंपनी https://t.co/XJPbpVoAj3
