In an article published by French journal Mediapart, Hollande on a question about who selected Reliance as a partner and why, said it was the Indian government that proposed Reliance's name and Dassault had no choice but to take the company given to it, according to an ANI report. We did not have a say in that. - Former French president Francois Hollande "We did not have a say in that. The Indian government proposed this service group, and Dassault negotiated with Ambani. We did not have a choice, we took the interlocutor we were given," said Hollande. The interview was published in French and excerpts of Hollande's interview were tweeted by French Newspaper LeMonde journalist Julien Boissou. French newspaper LeMonde journalist Julien Boissou, while writing a thread on Twitter mentioned, "It's in French and I would STRONGLY advise you not to use Google translate." Here's the thread: Hollande's reported statement contradicts Indian government's claim that the agreement between Dassault and Reliance was a commercial pact between two private parties and the government had nothing to do with it. Congress leader Manish Tewari on Friday immediately tweeted this article and asked Hollande, "President (Former) Francois Hollande should also enlighten us how the price went up from 590 crores in 2012 to 1690 crores in 2015 per Rafale fighter jet? Escalation of a mere 1100 crores. I am sure the Euro equivalent would not be a problem to calculate." On Twitter, Defence Spokesperson handle also wrote saying the report is being verified. Activist Prashant Bhushan also took to Twitter and wrote, "This is explosive!" Congress president Rahul Gandhi wrote on Twitter how "PM personally negotiated & changed the Rafale deal behind closed doors". Former finance minister P Chidambaram also expressed his views on Twitter saying, "we have got no aircraft, we have got only lies." Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Twitter slammed the Modi-led BJP government and asked PM Modi to 'tell the truth'. Responding to Congress attacks on the government for keeping Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) out of the Rafale deal under offset clause, both Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman have been constantly stressing that Dassault and Reliance got into an agreement on their own. Former chairman and managing director (CMD) of HAL, T Suvarna Raju, in an interview to a media house claimed that Dassault and HAL had signed the mutual work-share contract and gave it to the government. He further said that the life-cycle costs of the aircraft would have been cheaper if they were made in India. However, contradicting this, defence sources on Thursday claimed disagreements between HAL and Dassault Aviation had led to the collapse of negotiations between the two in the Rafale fighter plane deal during the UPA term. - Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
