REASI, Dec 21: Pradesh Youth Congress (PYC) sought resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over their alleged involvement in Rafale deal.
Speaking at the convention organised at Reasi today, Pradesh Youth Congress, president Uday Chib said that BJP Government at the Centre has failed completely on the part of ensuring transparency in Rafale deal. ” That’s why government is not ready to form JPC and a probe into the matter”, he said, adding “We demand that CAG should look into this matter and a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) should be appointed for the same”.
Chib exhorted upon the youth leaders to create awareness about Rafale scam and expose the deep rooted corruption which exists in the Modi-led government. He alleged that the Rafale scam is worth Rs 41,205 crore. “The government has taken this money which belongs to the farmers, the common man, the poor and the businessmen of this country and has been given it to Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence.
PM Modi and Nirmala Sitharaman must take responsibility of this massive scam and resign from their respective posts. A JPC has to be appointed or a Supreme Court monitored enquiry has to be set up to investigate the biggest scam of the century,” he emphasised.
Chib accused previous Government of weakening democratic institutions in the State. He held BJP-PDP responsible for demolishing peace of the State by exploiting the regional and religious sentiments of the people.
Chib laid stress upon the youth leaders to expose the misdeeds of the previous government and work for strengthening the Congress Party in the State. He asked them to listen to the sufferings of the youth and and project the same. Kewal Singh, District president Reasi also spoke on the occasion.
Prty leaders Munshi Ram Salalia, Vijay Sharma, Amit Sharma, Ravinder Singh Rasyal and Sahil Singh Langeh, Ajay Salaria, Nitin Mukesh and Satya Parmar also spoke on the occasion.
