नई दिल्ली।
फ्रांस के लड़ाकू विमान राफेल की आलोचना कर रहे लोगों को आईबीएन7 पर देश
के रक्षा मंत्री मनोहर पर्रिकर ने करारा जवाब दिया है। पर्रिकर ने आईबीएन7
से एक्सक्लूसिव बातचीत में साफ कहा कि ये विमान वायुसेना की जरूरत है।
राफेल बेहतरीन क्षमता वाला विमान है और उसपर सवाल उठाना पूरी तरह से बेमानी
है।
पर्रिकर
ने राफेल को लेकर की जा रही आलोचनाओं का जवाब भी दिया और साफ कहा कि ये
कहना गलत होगा कि राफेल विमान वायुसेना में इस वक्त मिग-21 विमानों का
विकल्प है। पर्रिकर ने राफेल विमानों का विरोध कर रहे बीजेपी नेता
सुब्रह्मण्यम स्वामी को समझाने की बात भी कही।
उन्होंने
साफ कहा कि वो स्वामी से मिलेंगे और उन्हें समझाएंगे। गौरतलब है कि स्वामी
ने इस सौदे के खिलाफ अदालत में जाने की धमकी दी थी। रक्षा मंत्री ने ये भी
बताया कि मिग-21 की जगह देश में ही बन रहे हल्के विमान तेजस तैनात होंगे।
सुमित अवस्थी: 36 राफेल विमानों पर तो बात हो गई है लेकिन बाकी 90 विमानों के मुद्दे पर क्या बात हो रही है?
मनोहर पर्रिकर:
मेक इन इंडिया पर दोनों सरकारों के साथ बात होने के बाद ही होगी। राफेल
काफी महंगा विमान है। 126 विमानों के लिए 90 हजार करोड का सौदा होगा। सरकार
से सरकार स्तर पर बात के बाद मेक इन इंडिया पर बात होगी। राफेल से मिग-21
रिप्लेस नहीं होगा, बाकी 90 विमानों पर हम चर्चा करेगें। तेजस से मिग-21
रिप्लेस होगा। 36 प्लेन खरीदने का निर्णय इन प्रिसिंपल हुआ है। दोनों देशों
की टीमें बैठकर निर्णय लेगी कि कितने राफेल बनाने हैं। मिग 21 की जगह
हल्का विमान तेजस लेगा।
सुमित अवस्थी: क्या ये सच है कि पिछले 10 सालों में दुनिया भर के रक्षा मंत्रालयों के मुकाबले हम पीछे छूट गए?
मनोहर पर्रिकर:
मुझे किसी पर कीचढ़ फेंकने की आदत नहीं है, आरएफपी मॉडल से डील करना ही
गलत है। पिछले दस सालों में किसी का किसी पर भरोसा नहीं रहा। एक रैंक, एक
पेंशन का मुद्दा समाधान की ओर है। लेकिन कोर्ट के अंतरिम आदेश के कारण मुझे
फैसला देखना होगा। अधिकतम 1 साल में हम एक रैंक, एक पेंशन को लागू कर
सकेगें।
सुमित अवस्थी: राफेल सौदे को लेकर सुबह्यण्यम स्वामी कोर्ट जाने की बात कर रहे हैं?
मनोहर पर्रिकर:
मैं सुबह्यण्यम स्वामी का सम्मान करता हूं। लेकिन मैं उन्हें एक दिन
समझाने के लिए बुलाउंगा। उनका निर्णय इंस्टेट न्यूज पर आधारित हो सकता है।
सुमित अवस्थी: दिग्विजय सिंह के आरोपो पर क्या कहेंगे?
मनोहर पर्रिकर: हमारी डील क्लियर स्टेटमेंट पर है। हम आरएफपी से कम प्राइस पर बात करेगें। दोनों सरकारों के बीच सौदा क्या पहली बार हो रहा है।

ReplyDeleteDear MBC Sir, there is a big confusion over the statement given by Hon'ble RM on implementation of OsROP. The clear translation says- that the OROP can be implemented maximum by one year. I was having that fear of minimum 50% of pay of post 2006 is to be fixed as pension for pre 2006 retirees that to w.e.f 1/1/2006(SC ordter). If they both are correctly understood by me then it becomes 'NAA GHARKA YA GHAAT KA'. If that would be the case it would be a one of the biggest frustration to the Veterans community.
ReplyDeleteI am giving below English version of the interview & this corresponds to the interview shown on DD news also (which i have seen & had posted the link at chat box).The hindi version posted does not seem to be correct at all

********************************************************************************
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has come out strongly in defence of the Rafale fighter jet deal with France signed by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In an interview with IBN7, Parrikar said that deal has been signed for 36 Rafale fighters which is good for the country as defence purchases were lagging behind for the last many years.
When asked about the remaining 90 Rafale fighters as the earlier Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) deal was for 126 planes, Parrikar said that Rafale is a costly fighter plane and for 126 planes the total deal will be of Rs 90,000 crore. As far as Make In India is concerned, both the governments will discuss when the deal is finalised, Parrikar said.
Parrikar also went on to clarify that both the countries have principally agreed for 36 planes, but the final decision regarding how many planes India will build indigenously will be decided later when both India and France will discuss and finalise the finer points of the deal. Parrikar also pointed out that Rafale was not going to replace MiG-21. Instead the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas would take MiG-21's place, he added.

The Defence Minister brushed aside the opposition allegation that concerns of CAG and other agencies were not take care off. He said that even during the Congress rule, the government to government level deals were signed. There is no point raising objections like this, Parrikar said.
Parrikar also took a dig at Congress leader Digvijaya Singh saying that he should eat fish as protein rich fish ensures that brain functions properly. He was reacting to Singh's tweet that while the PM was signing the Rafale deal, the Defence Minister was buying fish. Parrikar said that he was in Goa on some official engagement.
Parrikar didn't stop here. On BJP leader Subramanian Swamy's threat to move the court against Rafale deal, Parrikar said that he has know Swamy since 1978 and he will soon call him to discuss this deal with him. Parrikar said that he was confident that he will convince Swamy. In a lighter vein, he said, as a student of IIT Mumbai, he worker for Swamy when he contested for the first time from Mumbai and ensured his victory.
Parrikar also appeared concerned over the functioning of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Parrikar said DRDO appears as a small oasis in entire system. But coordination and synergy between DRDO and industry is not good, Parrikar said and added that he had plans to improve this.
The Defence Minister made it clear that he doesn't want to indulge in mud slinging, but the country has lagged far behind in last 10 years in the defence sector. There is atmosphere of trust has been lost in last 10 years, he said.
Parrikar also said that he was hopeful that one rank one pension will become a rule by the end of Parliament's Budget Session itself. "There was some interim court order and that delayed the process, but I am hopeful that we will fulfil our promise by the end of one year of our government," he said.
Yes Sir, I too understand the same what Venkatesh sir said, as I also gone through the video clip of CNN-IBN very deeply. Hopefully it is possible to get implemented by the end of April or at most by May 13th, provided the PM & Finance Minister provide the exchequer to DM before that. By one year means- before the celebration of first anniversary of Modi Govt it would be finalized.
