Congress questions Dassault CEO’s clarification on his statement

New Delhi, Nov 13 (ANI): Congress leader Anand Sharma questioned Dassault Aviation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Eric Trappier on Tuesday and asked him clarification for his earlier statement in which he had said that Dassault and HAL have almost finalised the agreement. Sharma said, “The Cabinet Committee on security had never met anyone. Then how could anybody in Dassault know in advance what Indian Prime Minister going to tell French President? I would like to ask Mr Eric Trappier. Why did he make this statement on 26 March 2015 in presence of the then Indian Air Force chief Arup Raha and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Chief KL Raju announcing that Dassault and HAL have almost finalised the agreement. Eric Trappier had said on record that there is a work share agreement finalised between Dassault and HAL. So which of his statement is correct? He has to clarify now.” Earlier today in an exclusive interview to ANI, Trappier had said, “I don’t lie. The truth I declared and the statements I made are true.”
