Is Modi helping Modi: Congress slams PM over Lalit Modi row

June 14, 2015 15:40

The Congress is demanding that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj resign over the Lalit Modi issue wherein it has been revealed that she helped the former IPL chief to procure travel documents even though he is a fugitive of the law and was being investigated by the highest authorities in India.

At a press conference, Randeep Surjewala said, "It is not morally or constitutionally right for EAM Sushma Swaraj to continue in office. She should resign immediately."

He went on to add that the nexus between illegal money betters and BJP leaders had been unravelled and that the PM needed to answer if Modi was helping Modi.

The Congress also said that the PM and finance minister's roles are suspect in the issue and the entire matter should be investigated.
