The Congress on December 31, 2018, accepted Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s challenge to debate the Rafale deal in the lower house of Parliament.
The government had insisted on a debate in Parliament responding to Congress’ demands for an investigation by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into the defence deal. The Congress had been raising this demand since the Winter Session began on December 11, 2018.
Congress Member of Parliament KC Venugopal and Communist Party of India (CPI) MP Shankar Prasad Dutta submitted their discussion on the subject under Rule 193, which does not entail voting.
