New Delhi: Former Air Force Chief N A K Browne, currently India's Ambassador to Norway, today strongly refuted as "baseless and malicious" reports that he was a "common link" in three major defence deals involving AgustaWestland, Rafale and Pilatus aircraft and said he was initiating legal action against a TV channel for making such allegations.
In a call from Oslo, Browne said that he had nothing to do with these deals and none of them have been signed during his tenure as IAF Chief.
"I am instructing my lawyer to initiate immediately legal action against a TV channel for indulging in such false and baseless propaganda. It seems these people are out to score points without any basis," he said.
Anglo-Italian firm AgustaWestland manufactures choppers while Rafale of France builds fighter jets. Pilatus is a Swiss trainer aircraft
