‘Lalit got travel papers only after Sushma’s intervention’
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday told the Lok Sabha that she “neither requested the British authorities to provide travel documents to the former IPL Commissioner nor recommended his case.” Ms. Swaraj said she had only told them that the “relations between the two countries would not be affected on extending help to Mr. Modi.” “If helping a critically ill person is a crime, I admit I have committed the crime,” Ms. Swaraj said. The party’s deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha Anand Sharma said that Ms. Swaraj’s defence was flimsy at best. “It is very clear that the British authorities decided to grant travel documents to Lalit Modi after the intervention of the Minister,” he said. While the protests outside Parliament went on in the manner of the last three days, Youth Congress members, including its president Raja Singh Brar, marched from their office, 5 Raisina Road, towards Parliament Gate in order to protest the suspension of 25 Congress MPs, without their shirts on.
