What benefit did I pass on to Lalit Modi: Sushma reacts to criticism

June 14, 2015 17:11

External Affairs Minister once again took to Twitter on Sunday defending her actions of helping scam-tainted Lalit Modi procure travel documents. On the social networking site, she said, "What benefit did I pass on to Lalit Modi -- that he could sign consent papers for surgery of his wife suffering from cancer. He was in London. After his wife's surgery, he came back to London. What is it that I changed?"

Earlier in the day, the Congress and AAP demanded for her resignation saying that her position was untenable as she had extended help to a fugitive of the Indian government.
