Was it right to take Rafale-issue to SC, Omar questions
A bench, headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, said there has been a necessity of fighter aircraft and the country cannot remain without fighter jets. Omar questioned whether it was right to take the Rafale issue to SC. "Have to ask whether the SC was the right place to fight this battle? Some fights are best fought in the political arena," he added.

The BJP really has the devil’s luck (relax I’m not calling you devils, it’s only an idiom 😀) This #RafaelVerdict couldn’t have come at a better time after the electoral set back.
