Reliance Industries has strongly deprived of Arvind Kejriwal’s allegation that its chairman Mukesh Ambani had squirrel away money abroad in Swiss accounts, saying the charge, made at a public rally in Haryana on Sunday, was groundless and seemed brought about by vested interests.
Moreover, the company is planning legal action to protect its corporate reputation, industry executives said.
RIL in a statement said that,“Reliance Industries strongly denies all allegations made by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) against Reliance and Mukesh Ambani in their public meeting recently … The continued tirade of baseless allegations being made by AAP against us appears to be instigated by vested interests.”
Kejriwal had ordered to file an FIR against Mukesh Ambani. Separately, a spokesperson for Anil Ambani also denied Kejriwal’s allegations counter to him, which were made at the same meeting, saying they were baseless and motivated by vested interests.
RIL regurgitate that neither the company nor Mukesh Ambani had any illegitimate bank account anywhere in the world. Its international subsidiaries, said RIL, dealt with several global banks as part of normal business that runs into thousands of crores of rupees. “These accounts are fully compliant with all regulations and are disclosed in their appropriate jurisdictions and in India,” it said.
Undeterred by Reliance’s denial, AAP member and lawyer Prashan Bhushan conformed to the allegations against Ambani and said Congress or BJP did not have the courage to question the Ambani brothers as these parties allegedly are in cahoots with them for funding and favours.
