New Delhi:
Union Minister Sushma Swaraj's fiery defense in Parliament on the Lalit Modi controversy in Parliament today included a litany of counter-allegations.
Here are five points made by Sushma Swaraj:
I want to tell Rahul Gandhi - you love holidays. On your next one, read up on your family history and come back and ask 'Momma, how much money did we get in the Quattrocchi case? Why did daddy let (1984 Bhopal Gas tragedy accused) Anderson go? Why the quid pro quo?"
Rahul Gandhi alleged that I had broken the law and worked clandestinely. If anyone worked clandestinely, then it was you (Congress) who let (Alleged Bofors middleman Ottavio) Quattrocchi go.
Rajiv Gandhi allowed Bhopal gas tragedy accused Warren Anderson, the former Union Carbide chief, to leave the country as a quid pro quo for the release of the son of a family friend Adil Shariyar.
There is no conflict of interest in my case. My husband and daughter didn't take even a rupee in the Lalit Modi passport case. There is a conflict of interest in P Chidambaram's case. He was the finance minister when his wife Nalini Chidambaram was the lawyer in the Saradha chit fund scam case, whose file was with his ministry.
My daughter did not earn even one rupee from Lalit Modi on the passport case. She was appearing with her senior, she was a junior that too at number nine.
