Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks in an interview that no questions were being raised on him in the Rafale deal, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said "don't know in which world" the PM is living.
Gandhi also challenged Modi to have a one-on-one debate with him on Rafale, combat aircraft or any strategic issue.
"Just give me 20 minutes with the prime minister one-on-one on Rafale and then you decide what is what. But the prime minister doesn't have the guts.... He does not have the guts to come and sit in front of you," the Congress chief told reporters at a press conference.
In a dig at the prime minister for his one-and-a-half-hour interview on Tuesday, Gandhi said: "Did you see the prime minister's interview yesterday, he was laughing. Pliable journalist (was interviewing). She was questioning and also giving prime minister's answers."
