'As defence minister I'm ashamed of chopper scam'

February 27, 2013 17:42

The BJP today demanded a Supreme Court-monitored, time-bound probe into the Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal.

Taking part in a debate in the Rajya Sabha on the issue, BJP leader Prakash Javadekar said all those who were the beneficiary in the deal must be bought to book, whether they are in Italy or India. Also, those in Italy should be brought to India to face law, he added.

"The money trail must also be established. Further, Letter Rogatory (LRs) must be issued,' Javadekar demanded.

Antony adds, " My ministry has shown no mercy to corrupt companies."
