New Delhi: Amid the row over her inflated bills, trustees of Team Anna member Kiran Bedi's Non-Governmental Organisation's (NGO) board have passed a resolution backing her. They have asked Ms Bedi to travel as per the tickets offered by the invitees, and not to worry about travelling Economy class to save money.

"Foundation trustees have passed resolution directing me to travel strictly as per invite. This leaves NO room for discretion," Ms Bedi wrote on the micro-blogging website Twitter.

Ms Bedi is in the eye of a controversy after allegations were leveled against her that on some occasions she flew Economy class but charged Business class fares from organisers.

She had clarified that the money saved was not for personal gains, but went to her NGO - India Vision Foundation - and was used for social work.
