SC corrects govt over 'Rafale could've helped in Kargil' remark
Justifying the purchase of 36 Rafale jets from France, Attorney General KK Venugopal told the Supreme Court, "Had Rafale been used during the Kargil war, it could have hit the hilltops from 60 kilometres away." Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi then said, "Mr Attorney, Kargil was in 1999-2000? Rafale came in 2014," after which Venugopal laughed and replied, "I meant hypothetically".
