Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused the Congress party of misleading workers at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) while the army was deployed on the border and said they are not even talking about the public sector company now. Modi claimed that the defence sector was like "a club for the Congress which their close relatives could plunder". He said the reason behind the Congress' silence on HAL was that HAL made record profits under his watch. The prime minister accused the Congress of running an 85% commission government that had ruined HAL.
