According to the BJP leader, the compnay in question was known as Backops, where the Congress VP was allegedly a director.
He said he had written to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding this.
He said, “I have written a letter to PM, enclosing authenticated documents regarding registration in 2003 of a private company in Britain.
