Antony's statement on AugustaWestland very curious: BJP

BJP also questioned the government's role in not allowing the Income Tax to investigate the AugustaWestland deal and CAG to complete its audit.

"All these suspicious circumstances only reinforce the apprehensions that I am expressing," Prasad said.

Defence Minister A K Antony today said in Rajya Sabha that certain notes have come to light suggesting that middlemen in the VVIP chopper deal were trying to target certain Indian leaders but their authenticity is "not proved".
