New Delhi: Terming the Rafale deal a “mega scam”, Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday demanded scrapping of the deal and sent a legal notice to Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over the alleged irregularities in it.
Singh also threatened to approach the court if Sitharaman did not pay attention to his demands in three days.
He also demanded barring of the private Indian firm involved in the deal.
“My client is constrained to issue this legal notice in the (Rafale Deal) matter due to your covert actions and deeds with regard to the pricing and induction of strategic partner of a company with zero credentials much to the detriment to the security of the nation,” the 11-page notice, sent to Sitharaman read.
“There has been a history of contradictory stands and statements taken and issued by the Ministry of Defence,” the notice — copies of which have also been sent to the Central Vigilance Commission and the Prime Minister — reads.
Speaking to the media, Singh alleged the Rafale deal is a ‘mega scam’ of Rs 36,000 crore.
