Asserting that the BJP is not embarrassed by Sushma Swaraj helping Lalit Modi, Union Law Minister D V Sadananda Gowda today hit back at the Congress saying it was the previous UPA government that allowed the former IPL chief to "run away" from the country.


"As far as Sushma Swaraj is concerned, the party is not embarrassed. Doing something for a person who is suffering from cancer (Modi's wife) is not an issue to be discussed," he said.


Gowda said the BJP and government was behind Swaraj because she helped Modi out of humanitarian consideration and did not make any attempt to stall the proceedings against the former IPL chief, who is facing money laundering and other charges.


On the political firestorm over Vasundhara Raje, who allegedly backed Modi's immigration plea and face trouble over reports that the former IPL chief had invested Rs 11.63 crore in a firm owned by her son Dushyant Singh in 2008, Gowda said the party would "certainly" look into the matter.


"As far as Raje's case is concerned, my party will certainly look into the matter. Our party will go into the details and only after getting the particulars take a decision on what needs to be done," Gowda added.
