BJP MP Anurag Thakur in his speech during the no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha produced the statement by the France government in which it has asserted that there was a secrecy pact between the two countries in 2008.
He slammed Rahul Gandhi for saying that he maintained his stand on his previous statement despite France’s denial.
France government today refuted the claims made by Rahul Gandhi about his conversation with the country’s President Emmanuel Macron over the secrecy pact related to Rafale deal. However, Rahul Gandhi has stood strong on his claims despite the official denial by the French government.
Maintaining his stand on his earlier statement Rahul had earlier today said that if France may wish to, they can deny it. He told: “He (French President Macron) said that before me..I was there, Anand Sharma and Ex PM (Manmohan Singh) was there”.
