Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Rafale Deal Enquiry a Must
 
The current revelation in a French media portal that one million euros were
paid to a "middleman" in the deal to buy 36 Rafale jets has once again
raised the issue of kickbacks and other illegal payments in the Rafale deal.
The report is based on an analysis of the Dassault company's accounts of
2017.
 
The dogged refusal by the Modi government to order a probe into the Rafale
deal raises suspicion that it has something to  hide in the matter.  The CAG
audit report could not obviously look into the issue of illegal payments. 
 
The CPI(M) demands the institution of a high-level investigation into the
whole business of cancellation of the earlier order and the fresh order for
36 planes at a higher cost.
