Congress government delayed the export of BrahMos missile, PM Modi said – it gave a big blow to the defense sector.

New Delhi: There has been a big revelation regarding the BrahMos missile deal in the Congress government. A report has claimed that the UPA government banned the export of BrahMos missiles several times citing lack of political clearance. Due to UPA government not taking timely decisions, the export of BrahMos missile could not be done many times. Even before the formation of the BJP government in 2014, the Manmohan Singh government of the Congress stopped the BrahMos Aerospace team going on a tour to the Philippines, the reason for this was given political clearance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also targeted Congress regarding this revelation.

Manmohan government delayed exports
A private channel has claimed in its report regarding Brahos missile that the Manmohan government repeatedly delayed its export. It has been claimed that in 2011, the Foreign Secretary said that there should be no talks on BrahMos export until an export policy is made. Apart from this, the report also says that in 2010, the Indonesian team present in the capital Delhi was stopped from visiting BrahMos Aerospace.

The team going to Philippines was also stopped
Apart from this, just before the formation of Modi government in 2014, the Congress government also stopped the BrahMos Aerospace team going to the Philippines. On April 17, the Ministry of External Affairs wrote a letter to the GM of BrahMos Aerospace saying that there is no clearance at the political level, hence green signal should be taken from the Ministry of External Affairs before visiting the Philippines. This letter was sent to the team of BrahMos Aerospace just before leaving for the Philippines.
