New Delhi [India], Feb 10 (ANI): Union Minister Smriti Irani, on Saturday, hit out at Congress President Rahul Gandhi for his remark on Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots. 
Responding to the Congress president's comments that Rs 30,000 crore could be given to families of IAF pilots, Irani said that Rahul Gandhi's remarks indicate the mindset that death can be compensated for money.
Speaking at an event here, she said: "
On Friday, addressing a press conference in New Delhi on the Rafale matter, Rahuk Gandhi had said, “Rs 30,000 crore were given to Anil Ambani's Reliance Defence in the Rafale deal. This could have been given to you (pilots) when you died in a plane crash.”
The Congress president was referring to a newspaper report which claimed that the Ministry of Defence had objected to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) negotiating with the French government over the price of Rafale aircraft. (ANI)
