Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Monday termed the Congress' demand for a JPC probe into the Rafale fighter jet deal as a "political grandstanding".
She said the JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee) probe into the Bofors deal in 1980s was of little value.
Speaking to reporters at the BJP's Mumbai office, the defence minister said, "To ask for a JPC (in Rafale deal), is more for their (Congress) political grandstanding rather than for genuinely knowing (truth) post the Supreme Court's verdict."
She said, "If you want to just look at the earlier history of JPC on defence related matters, you have the Bofors related JPC, which was headed by then minister B Shankaranand."
