Union Home Minister Amit Shah hailing the Supreme Court ruling in Rafale deal as victory of truth, demanded an apology from opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, who in turn sought a JPC as well as a probe into the multi-billion aircraft deal, saying Justice K M Joseph has left open a "huge door" for investigation.
Soon after the top court dismissed pleas seeking a review of its earlier order which had quashed demand for a probe in the fighter aircraft deal, the BJP fielded its top ministers and party leaders to launch an all-out attack on the Congress and Gandhi, evoking a sharp reaction from the opposition party, which claimed that the judgment is not a clean chit for the government.
The Congress had used Modi government's purchase of 36 Rafale jets from French aerospace major Dassault Aviation for the IAF at a cost of Rs 59,000 crore as one of the major issues in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, combining it with its 'ChowkidaarChorHai' slogan.
