Lalit Modi Debate

"The government rejects all the charges, the question of Sushma Swaraj's resignation does not arise," said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, bringing to a close an acrimonious debate on 'Lalitgate,' a controversy that paralysed the entire monsoon session.

Rahul Gandhi, attacked by foreign minister Sushma Swaraj in her rebuttal to the Congress' charges on the Lalit Modi controversy, hit back in the Lok Sabha, which is debating the scandal now called 'Lalitgate.'

When the debate in Parliament on controversial cricket tycoon Lalit Modi finally began, it did not fail the expectation that it would be loaded with political sniping. Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has been accused by the Congress of misusing her office to help Lalit Modi, wanted in India for financial crimes, to get urgent travel papers last year...

Sonia Gandhi today made a rare dash towards the Speaker's Chair in the Lok Sabha to join her Congress lawmakers in protest after a BJP lawmaker alleged that the Indian Premier League or IPL involved her family's black money - the term given for untaxed money parked in foreign accounts.

Asserting that she is ready "this very minute", Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj told the Opposition Congress to begin a debate on the controversy that has left parliament paralysed - her assistance that allowed tainted cricket tycoon Lalit Modi to travel from the UK to Portugal last year for his wife's cancer treatment.

The BJP today said that the opposition party has pushed itself "against the wall" by its demand and the honourable exit for it would be have a debate in the House on the Lalit Modi issue.

As the ruling BJP, cornered by a united opposition, launched counter-attacks on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a pitch for parliamentary debate on Thursday saying, "People have a lot of expectations from MPs, we need to work towards fulfilling those.
