The controversy over the Rafale jet deal has resurfaced with the Congress party seeking a joint parliamentary committee investigation after a French news website reported that a French judge has been appointed to lead a "highly sensitive" judicial probe into alleged "corruption and favouritism" in the Rs 59,000-crore deal with India. Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.- Lord Buddha #RafaleScam Prime Minister Narendra Modi should order the investigation, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala told reporters in Delhi today. "Corruption in the Rafale deal has come out clearly now. The stand of the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi has been vindicated today after the French government ordered a probe," Mr Surjewala said. France's National Financial Prosecutors' Office on Friday said it will look into alleged corruption in the sale of Rafale jets to India, news agency AFP reported. This French judicial institution was created in December 2013 to track down serious economic and financial crimes. "When the French government has accepted that there is corruption in the deal, should a JPC (joint parliamentary committee) probe be not held in the country where the corruption took place?" Mr Surjewala said.
