• 29 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to clarify one thing here. In my submission, I did not say said that M/s Angelica Medical Supplies wrote to the Committee. I said there are letters written by a company called BellCo SRL Ltd. clearly stating that M/s Angelica Medical Supplies was their sole agent in this country.
