New Delhi, June 16 (ANI): The controversy surrounding the help provided by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to former IPL chairman Lalit Modi turned ugly on Tuesday, as the Congress party dragged Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the fray, demanding an answer from him on the fracas. Sharma further claimed that the government is protecting a ‘wanted offender’, noting that former foreign secretary Sujatha Singh had been kept out of the loop with respect to the travel documents issued by the Ministry of External Affairs to Lalit Modi. Swaraj on Sunday had said she had taken a humanitarian view of Lalit Modi’s case since his wife was suffering from cancer. She further said that British MP Keith Vaz had spoken to her on the same, adding she believes that giving an Indian citizen ’emergency travel documents’ cannot spoil relations between India and the UK.
