Alleging conflict of interest, the Congress on Sunday requested Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Rajiv Mehrishi to recuse himself from auditing the deal to purchase 36 Rafale fighter aircraft as he was a part of the negotiations as the then finance secretary.

The Opposition party also said it will be improper on the part of Mehrishi to present the report in Parliament.

The CAG report on the controversial deal is likely to be tabled in Parliament on Monday.
