People involved in the chopper scam should be punished: Modi
"People involved in the chopper scam should be punished," Modi said while addressing a rally on Friday.
He said he is fighting against corruption.
The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Centre on a petition seeking registration of an FIR against all the people named in an Italian court judgement in the controversial AgustaWestland chopper deal, reports said.
A bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and Shiva Kirti Singh issued notice on the PIL that sought a court-monitored probe in the case.
The PIL was filed last week by advocate ML Sharma.
It sought lodging of FIR against political leaders, including Congress President Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, whose names have allegedly been mentioned in the Ialian court's judgement.
CBI had in 2013 registered a case in connection with alleged bribes paid by the firm to Indians get the deal for supplying 12 helicopters for VVIPs.
