Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about the success of HAL at a ceremony to dedicate India's largest helicopter manufacturing facility in Karnataka's Tumakuru.
"HAL was used as an excuse to level false allegations against the government. A conspiracy was launched to use its name to provoke people that wasted hours and hours of parliament time. (But) no matter how big the lie is, how many times it is repeated and who ever makes it, it loses in front of the truth one day," PM Modi had said.
The prime minister also said that the HAL facility will generate business worth over ₹4 lakh crore in the coming years and will supply a variety of helicopters to the armed forces.
