Responding to the verdict, Amit Shah tweeted: "Truth always triumphs!"

He said, "The court's



judgment on the Rafale deal exposes the campaign of misinformation spearheaded by Congress president for political gains. The court didn't find anything wrong with the process nor did it find any commercial favouritism in the deal."

Shah said the government had no role in selecting offset partners and the Supreme Court "found no merit in the demand for a probe based on mere perception of individuals".

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh in Lok Sabha said, "Congress president [Rahul Gandhi] tried to mislead public for political benefit, and maligned Indian image globally, he should apologise to the House and to the people of the country."
