Stepping up its attack, the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday raised fresh questions over the retainership fee received by Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and former Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari from Reliance Industries when they were lawyers and accused them of not revealing "full facts".
AAP leader Yogendra Yadav asked why the Minister has still not issued a notice to Reliance Jio in a 4G matter. Yadav queried whether Prasad had revealed his "pecuniary interest", in the 'Register of Members' Interests', a mandatory practice in Rajya Sabha.
"The Telecom Minister has revealed half-truths. He says that he was not associated with Reliance Industries, but the company (Fine Tech Corporation Pvt ltd) has around 70 per cent stakes in two Reliance holding companies. Also, the directors of the company are also on boards of many other Reliance companies," he added.
