Upping the ante against Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the Congress was likely to move a privilege motion against her for allegedly misleading the House on Rafale fighter aircraft deal with France, according to reports.

This came in wake of a privilege motion against Congress president Rahul Gandhi moved by BJP leaders – Anurag Thakur, Nishikant Dubey, Dushyant Singh and Prahlad Joshi – also for “misleading” the House and making false allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Sitharaman.

The Congress party, however, was yet to decide whether it will move the privilege motion against the prime minister as well.

Earlier, Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma informed reporters that the Lok Sabha leadership of the main Opposition party will take a call on moving the motion of privilege against Modi and Sitharaman.
