#RafaleDeal: Rahul's comments are shameful and irresponsible, says BJP
The BJP today condemned the remarks made by Rahul Gandhi against Narendra Modi over the Rafale deal, saying no President of any party has ever used such language against a PM. Terming it as "shameful and irresponsible", Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad hit back at Gandhi after he alleged that there was "clear-cut" corruption in the deal and demanded Modi to clear the air.
Gandhi playing into the hands of Pakistan and China: Prasad
Prasad ruled out a joint parliamentary committee probe, saying it cannot be done to satisfy the ego of an "ill-informed leader". He accused Gandhi of "playing into the hands of Pakistan and China" by seeking the details of the Rafale jets. He also alleged there was pressure for extraneous considerations and "bribe" for not finalizing the Rafale deal during UPA-regime despite holding repeated negotiations.
