AGARTALA, Dec 17 (TIWN): Demanding JPC probe in Rafale Deal scam, Tripura Congress hoisted a protest in Agartala today evening.

The Congress has been alleging corruption in the Rafale fighter jet deal and demanding a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).

As Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley denied JPC probe in Rafale deal scam, Tripura  Congress President Birjit Sinha rejected Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's argument against a JPC probe into the Rafale deal, saying the government and Parliament have overruled Supreme Court verdicts in the past, most recently in the SC/ST Act.

Both houses of Parliament witnessed uproarious scenes on Friday and Monday amid a demand for the JPC probe into the Rafale issue.
