Bengaluru, October 13: AICC President Rahul Gandhi accused the central government of playing with the future of thousands of eligible young graduates besides cancelling the Rafale fighter jet manufacturing deal with the HAL.
Speaking to reporters after holding a discussion with the HAL retired employees at the Minsk Square(Cubbon Park) in front of the HAL Head Office here on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi said that “the central government should have thought before cancelling the Rafale deal with the HAL. Today I have discussed with the retired employees of the HAL. The HAL has 70 years of long experience in the Defense Ministry. The HAL has manufactured various fighter jets like Sukhoi and Tejas. But the Centre has insulted their expertise and experience. The Union Defense Minister has been saying that the HAL does not have the experience of manufacturing fighter jets. Why does she keep mum on Rs 30,000 crore Rafale deal with Ambani Company which does not have any experience in that field”, he asked.
“Compared to HAL, Anil Ambani company has no experience. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has used this deal only to help Anil Ambani. People of the country have understood this simple thing. HAL is not a loss-making public sector unit. But Anil Ambani is in loss. By cancelling the agreement with the HAL, the centre has snatched the future of thousands of youth of the country. HAL employees and officials have dedicated their life to the country.
The Union Defense Minister is lying about the Rafale Deal. Because, France Former President has already disclosed the truth”, Rahul Gandhi said.
