Talking in a press conference, Sitharaman alleged that the "Congress president probably doesn't even read even half a paragraph, but here, by saying that the court has accepted and by also saying that the court has said 'Chowkidar chor hai,' these verge on contempt of court."
Congress president Rahul Gandhi said, “The Prime minister has been claiming that the Supreme Court had given him a clean chit on the Rafale deal. The Supreme Court has clarified and has begun an investigation into the Rafale deal.” On Wednesday, soon after filing his nomination papers for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Amethi, “The Supreme Court has accepted that there was corruption in Rafale and that the Prime Minister has given Rs 30,000 crore to Anil Ambani,” said Gandhi.
