The Rafale row took centre stage in Lok Sabha proceedings on Wednesday with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley defending the Modi government's procurement of the French fighter jet. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi sought permission to play a purported audio tape of a Goa minister on the Rafale deal but refused to authenticate it, prompting Union Minister Arun Jaitley to accuse him speaking "lies repeatedly".
Initiating a discussion on the Rafale issue, Gandhi targeted Narendra Modi, claiming that he "does not have guts" to come to Parliament to confront questions on the issue and "hides" in his room.
The Congress leader also rejected Modi's claim in an interview that there was no personal allegation against him, saying this is not true as the entire nation is asking him direct question.
Jaitley demanded if he can authenticate it, but the Congress leader said he would not do so.
