Bharartiya Janata Party(BJP) ally Shiv Sena on Wednesday, 2 January supported the Opposition demand in Lok Sabha for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the Rafale issue and drew a parallel with the alleged Bofors scam, claiming that people say Rafale aircraft is good but the deal is bad.
Speaking in a discussion on the Rafale issue, Sena’s Arvind Sawant said the government speaks of transparency, then why it is rejecting the demand for a JPC probe.
“We are transparent. Why we should be scared. Our government is good, it is not corrupt, then why should we be scared? Let there be a JPC probe and the truth come out,” he said.
