What is, indeed, mysterious is the fact that despite 48 hours having lapsed, the prime minister and the defence minister have decided to maintain a complete silence on ordering of a corruption investigation into the Rafale deal by the French Public Prosecution Services.

Antony alleged that "prima facie corruption in the Rafale deal is now apparent", as the French Public Prosecution Services has now appointed a judge to investigate "corruption, influence peddling and brazen favouritism" in the aircraft Rafale deal. The refusal of the BJP Government to probe and punish the guilty is even more astonishing, pointing towards a concerted effort to bury the scam," the former defence minister said.
He said the series of events and documents in public records have now affirmed the stance of the Congress party about "wrongdoing and corruption" in the Rafale deal. Why have the prime minister and the defence minister not come forward to react to the shocking and sensational development of a corruption probe in the Rafale deal by the Public Prosecution Services of France? Is it not the responsibility of the Government to come forward and accept the truth," Antony asked.
The senior Congress leader said this is even more important as 36 aircraft are being purchased by India under an inter-governmental agreement and one party to the agreement - the French government has proceeded to order an investigation through a judge. Antony alleged that Prime Minister Modi went to Paris on April 10, and unilaterally announced the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft "without going through any tender process and in complete derogation of the 'Defence Procurement Procedure'".
He claimed that every defence expert was shocked by this unilateral order which is India's biggest defence deal. He said this international tender for aircraft also envisaged the all-important 'transfer of technology' to India, but till today neither the prime minister nor the BJP government has explained the reason for reducing the number of aircraft from to 36 or the reason for sacrificing the transfer of technology to India.
