Rafale Dispute: Indian Company Told The Allegations Baseless
Rafale dispute: Indian company told the allegations baseless- said, had supplied Rafael’s model to Dassault Aviation.
An Indian company said on Tuesday that it had supplied 50 models of Rafale fighter aircraft to its manufacturer Dassault Aviation.
A day before this, a fresh controversy arose in the French media when news of the plane deal surfaced.
French publication MediaPart cited an investigation by the country’s anti-corruption agency, stating that Dassau Aviation had paid approximately 1 million euros to Diffysys Solutions for the 50 models of the aircraft, which were to be given as gifts.
Media reports said inspectors of the agency Francese Anticorption (AFA) were not given any evidence that these models were made.
Rafale dispute: Diffysys Solutions issued a statement and tax invoice on Tuesday, saying the allegations are completely baseless.
“This claim is completely baseless, baseless and misleading,” the company said in a statement, stating that Diffysys never supplied 50 models of Rafale aircraft.
The company said that 50 models of Rafale aircraft were delivered to Dassault Aviation on the basis of purchase orders received from the defense company.
The company said delivery challans, e-way bills and GST returns related to such supplies have been duly filed with the concerned authorities.
MediaPart said in its news that the Dassau group could not provide a single document to show the AFA that these models existed and were supplied, not even a photograph.
Inspectors suspect it was a bogus purchase, designed to conceal clandestine financial transactions.
Rafale dispute: Rahul said, bookkeeping done, no one can escape.
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi criticized the government for the French media’s news of the claim of payment to a middleman in the Rafale deal. He said, “Bookkeeping is done and no one can escape from it.”
India gave a message to China through military exercise in the Indian Ocean, we are not alone in times of crisis
It is natural for China’s concern to see military exercises going on in the Indian Ocean among the Quad member countries. Especially when the Indian Navy is also taking part in this exercise along with the US.
China has also reacted to this. China is the only country to have responded to the exercises. China stated that military exercises or cooperation between quadruple nations should be compatible with regional peace and stability.
Military exercises often take place between countries, but this is the first time such a response has taken place. However, China also reacted sharply during the quad summit.
