Prasad emphasised that the court had rejected the pleas of Sonia and Rahul to quash the circumstances against them and that each had been out on bail.
On Rahul challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a debate on Rafale, Prasad said, “Rahul Gandhi is not worthy to have a debate with the PM.” He reiterated that the federal government had carried out the Rafale take care of entire transparency.
