Congress President Rahul Gandhi today accused the government of "lying" to the nation on the issue of sharing details of the Rafale jet deal which was rejected strongly by Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling the charges "distortion of truth".
In his response on the issue while replying to the debate on no-confidence motion, Modi urged Gandhi to not make such childish allegations on such sensitive issues having security implications. "The allegations are distortion of truth."
In his reply, Modi said, "Just because of one careless allegation in the House on Rafale, both the nations had to release statements. We should not indulge in such childish behaviour."
"Who is being helped, why is the help being given, Niramala ji, the prime minister should tell the country."
