External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday attempted to shut her critics over the Lalit Modi row. She rejected the opposition's allegations that she helped tainted former IPL chief Lalit Modi's efforts to obtain British travel documents even as the Congress said there would be no compromise on its demand for her resignation. Speaking in the Rajya Sabha amid noisy protests by opposition lawmakers, Swaraj said: “I never requested the British government for travel documents for Lalit Modi.” The Rajya Sabha was subsequently adjourned till 2 pm.
