Vested interest

Sir — This refers to the Sushma Swaraj-lalit Modi controversy. Why can’t former IPl boss lalit Modi go to Portugal for his wife’s treatment, when the Italian Marines, guilty of killing Indian fishermen, can go back to Italy to enjoy ChristmasIJ

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has merely been humane in her approach to this case. The Congress and other opposition political parties are tossing this issue unnecessarily and wasting time.

Those comparing Mr Modi with Dawood Ibrahim must first answer queries about numerous corruption scandals like the Bofors scam, ‘Coalgate’, the Commonwealth Games scam and the 2G Spectrum scam.
