Ahead of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar's address to Parliament on the alleged AgustaWestland scam, Congress president Sonia Gandhi met party leaders to plan the strategy. "You will come to know our strategy, we will reply to them (Centre). BJP is welcome to level more charges," she said in a statement on Wednesday.
Parrikar will be placing all facts along with the detailed chronology about the controversial AgustaWestland chopper deal before Parliament on Wednesday, amid a row over blacklisting of the company and graft allegations.
"I will place the detailed chronology, giving facts about the chopper deal, giving how and when necessary clauses or provisions were relaxed to suit the company, before Parliament on Wednesday. Those who received kickbacks will not leave behind the proof for us to prosecute them, but we will have to prove that kickbacks were received). It is for us to prove everything now," Parrikar had said.
"Why no action was taken against the company till 2014? Why was the company not blacklisted by then UPA government? I challenge the Congress to show the UPA government's order blacklisting the AgustaWestland company. Let them reply first why it was not banned. It was during our (NDA) government that we banned it," he had said.
Parrikar had recently challenged the Congress to show the order by the UPA government confirming the blacklisting.
