New Delhi, May 21
In a significant move, Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group has decided to withdraw the defamation suits filed against the Congress and its party president for statements made on its agreement with Dassault Aviation.
Dassault is the manufacturer of Rafale fighter jets. India is buying 36 of those at a cost of Rs 59,000 crore.
A statement issued by the company on Tuesday said: “We believe that the defamatory statements by certain individuals and corporate bodies with regard to the offset agreement between Reliance Group and Dassault Aviation were made for political purposes in the run up to the Lok Sabha election 2019.
“The subject matter is pending for adjudication before the Supreme Court. Therefore, the Group has decided to withdraw the defamation suits filed by it against these individuals and corporate bodies.” — TNS
