Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman slams media report on Rafale deal, says report cites information 'selectively'

The Rafale deal took a new turn on Friday with an English national daily publishing note of the defence ministry dated November 24, 2015. According to the English daily which published the report, the defence ministry had objected to “parallel negotiations” that were being carried by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) with the French government. However, defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman sought to bring out the complete facts behind her ministry’s note by subsequently quoting its full contents in the Lok Sabha. Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in Lok Sabha that Parrikar had replied to the MoD note and asked the officials to “remain calm” and there was “nothing to worry, everything is going alright”.
