"Slap on the face of those who do politics based on lies". "Why did the Congress not approach the Supreme Court if it has evidence of corruption? The doors of the Supreme Court are open to everyone... It is clear that they knew their allegations were baseless, without any facts to back them. Everything they said was based on lies," he said. "We are ready for a discussion on the Rafale deal in Parliament. I challenge Congress to come and debate the issue on the floor of the house."

While answering questions about Joint Parliamentary committee party president challenged Congress party and said that it is only possible when we discuss the issue in the parliament.
