Panchnama Full (29.08.2018): Rafale row: Rahul proposes Joint Parliamentary Committee

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hit back at Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over the Rafale deal after the latter attacked the erstwhile UPA government for stalling the purchase of the multirole combat fighter jets from France.


In a tweet, The Congress chief "thanked" Jaitley for "bringing the nation's attention back to the great Rafale Robbery," and proposed the establishment of a Joint Parliamentary Committee to look into the purchase of the 36 fighter jets from France.
"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!" he tweeted.
