Former French president Francois Hollande has no reason to be economical with the truth. He's got no ax to grind with the Indian government, nor does he need to curry any favors with them. I would be willing to believe him far more than these liars like Mr. Jaitly and Ms. Sitharaman. It's a clear case of crony capitalism, where a major defense offset contract was awarded to a bankrupt company with zero experience in manufacturing of defense hardware. All this because the owner of the company happens to be a close buddy of PM Modi. The defense minister needs to resign, and the prime minister must answer questions. He cannot stand aloof and apart like an Olympian god.
