Samvidhan Ki Shapath: Congress demands Arun Jaitley's resignation, BJP refutes allegations 

September 13, 2018: Mallya claims he had told Jaitley during their "innocent" encounter that he would be leaving for London.

The London trip claim by Mallya, revealed while clarifying that his exchange with Jaitley was informal and "innocent", has muddied the waters further. The Opposition is now asking why Jaitley did not alert law-enforcement agencies if he was privy to such information.

Jaitley has already indirectly denied Mallya's claim by insisting that the exchange was limited to "one sentence" on a loan settlement offer. However, after Mallya came out with the specific claim that he told Jaitley of the London trip, the finance minister had not directly contested the version till Thursday night.
