Congress made defence sector a den of brokers and middlemen: Modi

"The people behind attacks on our defence procurement are often middlemen from the Congress era and international forces who want to ensure that India's military doesn't get stronger," he said.

"What is their relationship with Michel mama?', asks PM Modi to Congress leader

"People of country deserve to know how did middleman Michel know about the time of a meeting of cabinet on security, about status of a government file, what role he played in delaying procurement of Rafale for 10 long years, what role he played in putting national security in danger," he added.

The Prime Minister said that the Congress had made the defence sector a den of brokers and middlemen.

"Recently, a defence middleman was caught and brought back to India. But do you know who this middleman is close to? This middleman is close to the current 'First Family' of the Congress," Modi said.
