'Fault in Rafale deal', Congress raises questions in press conference

Congress Spokesperson Randeep Surjewala raised serious questions over Rafale deal in a press conference. India had inked an inter-governmental agreement with France in September 2016 for procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets at a cost of around Rs 58,000 crore. The Rafale is a 4.5 generation aircraft and has the latest weapons, superior sensors and fully integrated architecture. It is an omni-role aircraft which means it can carry out at least four missions in one sortie.
