"What is Rafale Issue?"

The NDA government was "merely following" confidentiality provisions under an agreement signed between India and France in 2008 when the Congress-led UPA government was in power.

The Defense Ministry said "provision of exact item-wise cost and other information" would "reveal the various customization and weapons systems specially designed to augment the effectiveness and lethality of the assets

Giving complete details of weapons &systems impact military preparedness &compromise our national security.

RS documents clearly indicate that both Pranab Mukherjee & AK Antony refused to release commercial details of deals when they were Defense Ministers

Now Rahul Gandhi is asking to reveal details of the deal when his party senior leaders themselves declared that it cannot be declared due to security reasons.

Rahul asking for details is not in the interest of the country &will hamper national security

Apart from reasons of national security, officials say a confidentiality clause, bars the buyer &seller from talking about pricing, makes it impossible for any Govt to reveal any detail of d deal.

Afterall this is deal b/n Govts & not w/any brokers in b/n.

The deal is not with someone else, its Govt to Govt, so there is no point of brokerage or commission or any third party beneficiary.

Raising questions on Raffel deal Congress party is just playing a blame game card.

Congress claiming that there is no technology transfer in Raffel deal, forgetting that 126 Rafale fighter jets would be manufactured in India.

Technology may not be going to HAL, but it is coming to the Defence Research and&Development Organisation (DRDO)

Each aircraft costs Rs 610 crore, fully loaded aircraft cost will reveal capabilities.
Rafale deal at a much lower cost than negotiated by UPA.

36 Rafale are a substantial upgrade than UPA negotiating.

No date of delivery fixed in UPA deal.

Raising questions on Raffel deal Congress party is just playing a blame game card.

Can Cong complain if the exact cost is not being shared because of 2008 secrecy clause signed by UPA?
