Buying Rafale, than better buy Dassault company Dr Swamy with his cannon ready on the Modi government which is really so keen buying Rafale, than it should buy Dassault company which makes Rafale warplanes. Dr Swamy alleges that the Rafale deal had been privately negotiated between two sisters of Sonia Gandhi and Carla Bruni, the wife of the former French President.  Rafale is a less fuel efficient aircraft and lacking in essential performance characteristics because of which no country in the world has agreed to buy these aircrafts. Dr Subramanian Swamy has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to sign any deal with French company Dasault for buying Rafale warplanes. “Dassault will go bankrupt if no country buys the Rafale and therefore if we want to oblige the French it is better to buy Dassault company itself rather than their planes, as it will be more beneficial and cost effective,” Dr Swamy said in a statement.

NAPM condemns killings in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh Ensure that those entrusted with responsibility of maintaining the law and order do not misuse it ! 10 th  April 2015, New Delhi : NAPM is outraged at the level of bloodshed perpetuated by the police machinery involving the killings of 5 under-trials in  Nalagonda (Telangana) and encounter of over 20 woodcutters in the  Seshachalam forests in AP. Media reports, evidences and even common sense not only contradict police versions of both incidents but also suggest that these are planned custodial killings and cold-blooded massacres at the behest of state police. The first incident took place when 5 under-trials, the alleged ‘SIMI’ activists, were being transported from Warangle Jail to a Hyderabad court by the police for a hearing wherein the judgment was to be pronounced soon. This cannot just be a coincident but a patterned act of state violence against people of a particular religion in the name of ‘fighting terroris
