Sushma Swaraj acted in a 'humanitarian' manner, no 'moral issue' involved: Amit Shah

External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj was at the centre of a political storm on Sunday after acknowledging that she helped controversial former IPL chief Lalit Modi procure British travel documents on “humanitarian grounds”. While the opposition parties demanded Swaraj's resignation on moral grounds, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) defended the minister, with party chief Amit Shah saying Swaraj had done no wrong and no moral issue was involved in the matter. Hitting back at the Congress, the BJP chief also said this matter was different from making Bofors scam accused Ottavio Quattrocchi "flee" from India or allowing Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson to "leave" the country.
