The Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh Friday demanded that a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) be set up to look into the Rafale fighter jet deal.

Singh was one of the petitioners seeking a court-monitored probe into the controversial deal. The plea was dismissed by the Supreme Court Friday.

The AAP leader said the party will keep pushing for an investigation into the alleged scam, if not by the Supreme Court, then by the “janata ki adaalat (people’s court)”.

“Of course, the government won’t accept that there is a ghotala (scam) in the Rafale deal,” Singh told ThePrint. “We want the issue to be raised in Parliament, especially now that Amit Shah has said that the government is open to it. I want that a JPC should be set up,” Singh added.
