External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has come at the centre of a major row over the grant of travel documents to Lalit Modi, the former Indian Premier League commissioner who is being probed by the Enforcement Directorate. The opposition has trained their guns on the leader and have asked for her resignation.
- This is a serious matter. She should resign. If she doesn't then PM Modi should sack her.
Ashutosh, Aam Aadmi Party
- I condemn the help given to him (Lalit Modi) by Ms Swaraj.
K C Tyagi, Janata Dal (United)
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi owes an explanation to the country on impropriety committed by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
D Raja, CPI
- It is a case of grave impropriety. It is the duty of the Prime Minister to answer.
Brinda Karat, CPI(M)
- The minister backed a person like Lalit Modi, against whom a lookout notice was there ... All this is very serious. The external affairs minister is supporting a person who is on the run.
Digvijaya Singh, Congress
- Swaraj helping Lalit Modi to get a UK visa on humanitarian ground is perfectly alright. Political people have to help people in such situations. What is wrong if a man is helped in getting visa for the treatment of his wife abroad... To my knowledge she asked the British authorities to help Lalit Modi as per prescribed rules.
Ram Gopal Yadav, SP
- In the interest of transparency, Government of India should release the letters written to the UK Chancellor on the Lalit Modi case.
P Chidambaram, Congress
