NEW DELHI: A day after government said that secret Rafale deal files were stolen, Congress president
Rahul Gandhi
on Thursday said that the fact that the papers were stolen underlines their authenticity and called for a probe against the Prime Minister.
The Congress president, in an early morning press conference, said that the Prime Minister performed a bypass surgery in the Rafale deal. He also said that "
parallel negotiations
" have "retarded" the delivery schedule of the
Rafale fighter jets
to benefit Anil Ambani.
On Wednesday, the government told the Supreme Court that papers on the
Rafale defence deal
were "stolen" from the defence ministry. The government also threatened an English-language newspaper with the Official Secrets Act for publishing articles based on them. In a report published in the daily last month, it was alleged that the Prime Minister's Office had conducted "parallel negotiations" in the Rafale defence deal.
"In papers it is clearly said that parallel negotiations were being done by PM Modi. Narendra Modi has done bypass surgery," the Congress president said.
