The Congress, for the second time in as many months, on Thursday approached the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Rajiv Mehrishi, seeking an audit of the Rafale fighter jet deal amid alleged corruption in the defence deal with France.

A party delegation including former Union Ministers Jairam Ramesh and Anand Sharma met the CAG and handed over what they claimed new documents pertaining to the deal for the purchase of 36 Rafale jets from France, in its bid to press for the party's demand for a forensic audit of the scam.
