Chennai: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he does not object to his brother-in-law Robert Vadra facing a probe over his business dealings but at the same time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should also be investigated over the Rafale deal. Interacting with the students of Stella Maris College for Women here, Gandhi faced a googly from a student who asked why he didn’t mention Robert Vadra along with the names of Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and others accused of fraud.
“What about him (Vadra)? The government has every right -- and it should -- to investigate every single person. The law must not be applied selectively. I am the first person to say ‘investigate Vadra’. But investigate the Prime Minister, too” he said. Gandhi said the Prime Minister himself is named in government documents which say that he is directly responsible for holding parallel negotiations with France’s Dassault Aviation in the Rafale fighter jet deal. To an earlier question, the Congress chief criticized the Modi government for facilitating businessmen such as Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and others to leave the country after defrauding the banks.
