New Delhi, June 15 (ANI): The BJP on Monday hit back at the Congress after the later dragged Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the Sushma -Lalit Modi controversy. Earlier today, the Congress party had said that the prime minister must have been aware of the help being extended to the former IPL commissioner. Listing charges faced by Lalit Modi, the Congress had pointed that the former IPL chief was “admittedly a fugitive” and “India had issued as many as eight showcause notices to him”. He targeted PM Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, asking what relationship they had with Lalit Modi. Sushma had yesterday admitted that she had helped Lalit Modi procure documents to travel to Portugal last July on “humanitarian grounds”. Sushma, in a series of 14 tweets, had said she had helped Lalit Modi, who has been staying in London since 2010 following allegations of financial impropriety, after he approached her last July, saying his wife was suffering from cancer and was to undergo surgery in Portugal. The minister, however, had denied having sought any favour for her nephew Jyotirmay Kaushal with regard to his admission in a law course at Sussex University.
