Rafale report likely to be tabled in Parl today

February 12, 2019 11:11

The pricing of the Rafale jet fighter deal is likely to be mentioned in redacted form -- which is without absolute numbers and with variables such as x, y and z -- in a Comptroller and Auditor General report, which may be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.

'Priyanka Gandhi Zindabad' and 'Chowkidaar Chor Hai' slogans raised outside the ED office.

The report will also be on 10 other capital acquisitions by the Air Force, sources said. The report will be in two volumes, with one of them dealing with the 10 acquisitions and the other one on the Rafale deal. However, the two volumes will be in one copy.

Sources said the CAG had sent its report to President Ram Nath Kovind and the finance ministry. The ministry will prepare a brief on the report and send it to the president, who will then give instructions for it to be tabled in Parliament.
