Rajiv Gandhi acted as 'middleman' in a fighter jet deal," alleges Dubey
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has levelled serious allegations against former Prime Ministers Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi, claiming that Rajiv Gandhi acted as a "middleman" in a proposed fighter aircraft deal during the 1970s, citing a past WikiLeaks report.
The BJP MP also accused former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of "excessive interference" in defence deals, citing those reports.
In a social media post on X, Dubey wrote, "In 2013, WikiLeaks made shocking revelations about former Prime Ministers Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi. 1. On October 21, 1975, a Swedish diplomat informed the American government that the Saab-Scania company wanted to sell Viggen fighter jets to India, and the then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's pilot son, Rajiv Gandhi, was acting as a middleman? 2. The then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was excessively interfering in defence deals?"
Claiming that these reports were published in 2013, during the Congress-led UPA regime, Dubey questioned why the Manmohan Singh government didn't take action against the US or Swedish governments when these allegations surfaced.
The social media post reads, "This came to light when the Congress government was in power at the centre, Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister of the country, why did the then-Indian government not take action against the American government or the Swedish government? If only?"
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has been consistently targeting the Congress party and the Gandhi family with allegations of corruption and compromising national interests.
