Smear campaign against government using HAL failed in face of truth, says PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi, without naming Congress or the Rafale deal, launched a frontal attack on Monday, saying the successful operationalisation of the helicopter factory of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) had exposed the opposition party’s “lies and misinformation” they spread about the conspiracy to shut down the public sector concern. The PM noted that HAL has become a centre of global attraction by virtue of being the manufacturer of Tejas.
