Blame game on between Foreign and Finance ministries over Lalit Modi's passport-IndiaTV News

India TV News  

New Delhi: A blame game appears to be brewing between the External Affairs Ministry and Finance Ministry over not challenging the Delhi High Court order restoring the passport to tainted former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi. The External Affairs Ministry had revoked Modi's passport following a request by the ED in 2010 and sources indicated that the Ministry may consider filing an appeal against the High Court order to restore Modi's passport if the probe agency approaches it. Modi was issued a fresh passport from the Indian High Commission in London in September last year following the court order. Stepping up attack on Swaraj, the Congress has been questioning her as to why no appeal was filed against the court order to restore Modi's passport.
