"Great Rafale Robbery", tweets Rahul after Arun Jaitley's counter

August 29, 2018 19:20

Hours after Arun Jaitley put up 15 questions for the Congress in a Facebook post accusing Rahul Gandhi of "peddling untruth" on the Rafale fighter jet deal, the Congress president had a dare of his own for the finance minister.

Calling the fighter jet deal a "great Rafale robbery", Rahul Gandhi asked Jaitley for a Joint Parliamentary Committee on it, and said he would wait for a response for 24 hours.

The Congress president, in his tweet, also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Anil Ambani, without naming the Reliance Group Chairman. He accused PM Modi of "protecting his friend".

"Mr Jaitley, thanks for bringing the nation's attention back to the GREAT #RAFALE ROBBERY! How about a Joint Parliamentary Committee to sort it out? Problem is, your Supreme Leader is protecting his friend, so this may be inconvenient. Do check & revert in 24 hrs. We're waiting!" Gandhi tweeted.
