Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Tuesday hit out at Dassault Aviation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Eric Trappier, terming his interview with news agency ANI as "dictated" and said, "Manufactured lies can not suppress the Rafale scam."
Eric Trappier in an interview with news agency ANI on Tuesday dismissed Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s allegations that he had lied about the details of the Dassault- Reliance Joint Venture (JV) for offset contracts in the Rafale fighter jet deal.
As a reaction to the interview Surjewala took to twitter and posted "The first rule of Law - Mutual Beneficiaries and co-accused's statements hold no value. Second Rule: Beneficiaries and Accused can't be Judge in their own case. Truth has a way of coming out."
