Hitting back at Anil Ambani for his personal and orchestrated comments against it and its Chairman Mukesh Ambani,Reliance Industries asked the younger Ambani to exercise restraint and let a gas dispute between them be decided by the Supreme Court.
8220;During the course of his media campaign,Anil Ambani has made several personal comments about his elder brother and RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani. While Mukesh Ambani is profoundly saddened by his brother8217;s remarks,he requests the media to respect his decision not to respond,8221; RIL said in a statement.
Fighting inside and outside the courts for getting gas at a committed price of USD 2.34 per mmBtu from RIL,Anil has levelled several serious charges,including that Petroleum Ministry was conniving with RIL to help it earn a profit of Rs 50,000 crore and that Mukesh had ruled out any role for mother Kokilaben for settling their dispute.
Emphatically refuting and outrightly rejecting 8220;the baseless,tendentious and motivated allegations and insinuations8221; made by Anil and his associates,RIL said the public statements were attempts to convert 8220;legal issues into public issues.8221;
