Sushma Swaraj defends self in Lalit Modi issue

Congress party has been demanding for resignations of Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj in connection with Lalith Modi issue. Twenty five MPs of the party were suspended for 5 days from Lok Sabha after they keep disrupting the house proceedings for last two weeks demanding for her resignation and also of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh state Chief Ministers Vasundara Raje and Shivaram Singh Chouhan’s resignations.

Sushma Swaraj responding to their allegations and demand for her resignation refutes their allegations. She said, “I did not helped Lalith Modi to get any financial benefits nor did I asked the Britain Government to arrange visa to him. If, the opposition parties have evidence of my e-mail or letter that strengthens their allegations, they are free to make it public. I have not committed any mistake or unlawful act.”

“Mrs. Lalit Modi, who was in a hospital in Portugal was in serious condition then. Doctors asked her husband to present beside her as they need his consent for her operation. Hence, the Britain government granted visa to him. I did not asked or recommend it to grant visa to Lalith Modi,” said Sushma Swaraj.

She further said, “Whatever reports appeared on this matter in media are not true and baseless. It is meaningless to demand for my resignation by the Congress party based on such false reports. Even the Britain Government has declared that it has granted visa to Lalit Modi on its own. If, Congress has any questions related to this matter it can shoot. I have answers to all its questions. I swear I have not committed any mistake in this case.” said Sushma Swaraj.
