It is significant that when it came to a deal of such national importance, an untested company was roped in as an offset partner and a government undertaking with more than five decades of experience was overlooked (“No pressure to choose Reliance, says Dassault,” Oct.12). We need to know the compelling reasons that made the deal transpire in such hurry and secrecy. A Joint Parliamentary Committee probe needs to be initiated. If the deal was transparent, why is the Centre not interested in an amicable resolution?
