PM Modi tweeted on Thursday morning giving full marks to the speech made by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
Modi said Parrikar's speech was in keeping with the best traditions of the Parliament.
On Wednesday, taking part in a Rajya Sabha debate on the AgustaWestland VVIP helicopter scam, Parrikar had said there was an “invisible hand” behind the “inaction” of the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate probing it.
“The country wants to know who benefited from corruption. We can’t let this pass,” Parrikar said.
He noted that first information report filed by the CBI in the case was forwarded to the ED only after 9 months. Though ED received it in December 2013, it did not act on it till July 2014 – 3 months after the NDA government came to the power.
“A comprehensive enquiry has now been initiated. No stones would be unturned to try those who acted against national interest,"said Parrikar.
