NEW DELHI: Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday termed the doubts raised via the Congress over her commentary on HAL contracts as "incorrect and misleading".
In a temporary commentary in Lok Sabha, she stated that over Rs 26,000 crore value of contracts have been awarded and paintings amounting to Rs 73,000 crore are within the pipeline.
Her commentary comes amid a political furore over her commentary within the House referring to orders positioned with the defence public sector undertaking.
Congress had on Sunday alleged that the minister had "lied" in Parliament that govt orders value Rs 1 lakh crore were supplied to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
Sitharaman stated in Lok Sabha, "I would like to set all doubts to rest... the doubts raised in this regard are incorrect and misleading".
