Press Statement

 

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), now in
session at New Delhi, has issued the following statement:

 

SC Verdict on Rafale Aircraft Raises Serious Questions

The ground on which the Supreme Court has refused to enter the price
question is the purported communication between the government and the CAG.
The order has further pointed out that the CAG has 'published' a report on
this question which, in turn, has been examined by the Public Accounts
Committee and their 'report' has been tabled in the Parliament. It is
crystal clear that neither was the CAG report placed in parliament as
required by the Constitution nor could the PAC, examine it. Therefore, the
question which begs an answer is as to who provided the apex court with such
information. 

Under these circumstances, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
India (Marxist), which is currently in session, reiterates the demand that
the Rafale deal which involves a huge expenditure from the public exchequer
needs to be probed by a Joint Parliamentary Committee. This is the only way
to unearth the truth behind this scam.
