Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh has said that most of the hitches in the multi-billion Euro deal for 36 Rafale fighter planes have been addressed. Speaking to media on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi today, Mr Singh said, the remaining issues will be cleared in the next meeting of the Defence Acquisition Council, DAC. The meeting of DAC, the apex body of the Defence Ministry for procurement, is expected this week.<br/><br/>The Minister brushed aside a suggestion that at least six indigenously made Light Combat Aircraft Tejas can be bought for the price of one Rafale plane, saying both the aircraft are totally different in nature and that Indian Air Force needed both. The development comes nearly four months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Francois Hollande signed a memorandum of agreement to purchase 36 Rafale aircraft.
