Calling allegations of wrongdoings in Rafale deal a "manufactured controversy", Sitharaman said, "If the forces have best weapons, then their morale is high. Under Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) decisions are taken only on merit." She said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government was not afraid of investigations in the Rafale deal but there was nothing to investigate. If someone else other than the prime minister announces it, then it will not have the same value.
