1/ No Mrs @nsitharaman. This is another false statement from you.
The first question is, who gave the permission to PM to take a unilateral decision and why didn’t he wait for a CCS approval before his announcement?
Why did the then Defence Minister was not consulted?

2/ Another question you never answered is why did Modi govt agreed on Geneva as the seat of arbitration? And why did Modi govt agreed to pay in advance before the delivery?
How did such big a deal went through without the mandatory bank guarantee from Dassault?

3/ If Dassault falters on delivery schedule, in absence of a bank guarentee, what is the security Modi govt got from France?
Why did law Ministry’s red flag on the contract was sidelined? Who advised for that? And for whom?

4/ You didn’t give any answer in the Parliament, Mrs Sitharaman. You just side stepped the questions by waving a secrecy agreement which never covered the no disclosure of commercials.
How can you say the price can’t be disclosed when govt is spending people’s money?

5/ We know you can’t answer because any proper answer will put your boss in trouble.

Mrs Sitharaman, you must remember, you are not the Defence Minister of Modi and BJP, but India. You just can’t hide behind a secrecy agreement.

6/6. Thete is nothing new in Modi govt not answering questions on Modi’s #Rafale36 deal. This was going on in since long now.
