Jaitley's query

He was making his clarification on the issue raised by Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley who said that the e-mail and web address of Ausbridge Holdings and Investments and Advantage Strategic Consulting, which is alleged to have invested in Aircel-Maxis, were the same in 2006.
