Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told Lok Sabha: “Then Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar ji replied to that MoD note that remain calm, nothing to worry, everything is going alright. What was that?”Reacting, Union Minister Naqvi said :"Sometimes it looks like some people especially senior leaders of Congress have got 'supari' to defame and misguide on the sensitive issue of national security. Meanwhile, G Mohan Kumar, the Defence Secretary during the Rafale negotiations said: “It (MoD dissent note on #Rafale negotiations) had nothing to do with price. The government can use the law against everyone, including his brother-in-law Robert Vadra and former Union Finance minister P Chidambaram, but must answer questions on the Rafale deal, the Congress chief said.
