The notice was based on a letter from Mr Subramanian Swamy, an outspoken MP from Mr Modi's nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party . "You are requested to intimate the factual position in the matter to this ministry within a fortnight of the receipt of this communication," Mr B.C. Joshi, a director in the Indian Interior Ministry, said in the notice to Mr Gandhi.
