Manohar Parrikar’s life in danger over Rafale files: Congress

Panaji: Ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s life is in danger because he possesses key files related to corruption in the Rafale fighter jet deal, Goa Congress President Girish Chodankar has said in a letter to President Ram Nath Kovind, demanding “fool-proof” security to the former Defence Minister who is recuperating from cancer.

The Goa Congress on Saturday also questioned the delay in filing of a First Information Report in connection with a controversial audio clip, in which state Health Minister Vishwajit Rane has purportedly claimed that Parrikhar had stashed files related to the Rafale deal in his bedroom. Rane on Wednesday claimed that the clip was doctored and requested Parrikar and BJP President Amit Shah to initiate a probe into the matter. (IANS)
