In democracies there has to be accountability, all ministries are subject to RTI requests and questioning from MPs and their constituents.

Questioned about what?? rather than this immature, ridiculous reply you could have told me what the reason for a written reply was???

HAL production under lens after Hawk trainer crash - The Times of India
after spending some time on google I found this.
Next time rather than a useless, moronic reply with no basis try to just present things as they are. I know how democracy works, apparently you have trouble with the English language.
Reply means that something was questioned and when it is from the MOD it will not be something trivial.

Most of the people here on PDF have lots of comprehension issues. I pray that they are successful in rectifying those to stop making a fool out of themselves.

On the topic.
HAL is not that dammed as most people here infer.

A limited and aged manpower is doing a lot of development and manufacturing out there. And most of those processes are our first in the respective fields. Very few aerospace agencies today can run so many programmes all together and deliver.
