On 14 December 2018, the Supreme Court dismissed all the petitions filed asking for investigations into the Rafale deal. Among these was the petition filed by former NDA Cabinet ministers Arun Shourie and Yashwant Sinha, along with senior advocate Prashant Bhushan.

The Quint spoke to Arun Shourie about why he believes the judges have got this verdict wrong, and what needs to be done. From incorrect facts (eg: that the CAG report on the Rafale deal was provided to the PAC) to the acceptance of government assertions without proof (and contrary to publicly available information), Shourie explains everything that doesn’t add up.
