Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, in February, had demanded that an “independent” CBI raid the PM office, seize files, and make necessary arrests in connection with the controversial case.

Earlier on Friday, the saffron party protested in front of the Congress headquarters and demanded an apology from former party chief Rahul Gandhi over the issue.

In a statement issued, the BJP said it organised the protests against the “malicious and baseless allegations” of corruption levelled in the deal.

Meanwhile, the Congress on Friday demanded that the CBI lodge an FIR into the case. Calling the BJP’s jubilation “premature”, Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan said the “saffron party had celebrated without going into the details” of the SC’s latest verdict.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Saturday said that everyone has the right to demand after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the Rafale case.

“Ours is a democratic nation. Everyone has the right to demand, regardless of how shameless it may be. SC rejected it in the year 2018 and the country rejected it in the election,” he said responding to a question.
