"Congress has asked the Prime Minister to make a full disclosure of facts and evidence so that the truth comes out. We have placed before the Prime Minister all the documents that are available," he said.

"We should all know how Lalit Modi was being helped and why was he being helped being an Indian fugitive," Surjewala  added.
