We justify it and the government completely stands by her,вЂќ Home Minister Rajnath Singh said after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the controversy.В Swaraj also reportedly talked to the Prime Minister. вЂњWe want to make it clear that whatever she has done is right. Despite Sushma Swaraj not enjoying the closest of relations with the PM or other senior ministers like Arun Jaitley, Narendra Modi and the BJP appear to have decided it is wiser to weather the shockwaves reverberating from the governmentвЂ™s first real scandal rather than feedВ the external affairs minister to the wolves. The emails, believed to have been illegally obtained by the former IPL bossвЂ™s rivals in the cricketing world, have also been accessed by the Times Now channel.ДЄccording to BJP sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has known about this ticking time-bomb for about a week now. The help Sushma Swaraj provided Lalit Modi has come to light following a story in a London newspaper, the Sunday Times, which drew upon a trail of emails involving British MP Keith Vaz. Moreover, it appears written consent may not even be a requirement under Portugese law. His wife was clearly not unconscious or otherwise unable to sign any consent papers herself. It is also not clear why Swaraj did not probe the need for Lalit Modi to travel to Portugal to sign consent papers. Lalit was madeВ a judge of the Supreme Court in August 2014. Bansuri Swaraj was part of the team of lawyers who worked with UU Lalit, senior advocate at the time. SwarajвЂ™s daughter, Bansuri Swaraj, represented Lalit Modi before the Delhi High Court when the scandal-tainted former cricket administrator challenged the revocation of his passport by the government of India. What she did not disclose was a potential conflict of interest her critics are bound to highlight in arguing that her decision to intervene couldВ have been influenced by considerations other than humanitarianism. What benefit did I pass on to Lalit Modi вЂ“ that he could sign consent papers for surgery of his wife suffering from Cancer ? New Delhi:В External Affairs Minister Sushma SwarajвЂ™s took to Twitter on Sunday to defend herself against the charge of acting improperly in intervening with the British government to ensure the fugitive former IPL chief Lalit Modi was given travel documents on вЂњhumanitarian groundsвЂќ last year.
