As Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in London on Thursday morning, the Congress was quick to raise the Lalitgate and seek the extradition of the main accused, Lalit Modi, to India.
“We hope that the Prime Minister takes up the matter with his British counterpart, and ensures that Lalit Modi is deported to India at the earliest,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said at a press conference here.
He said the Prime Minister was “aware that the incessant lies of his colleagues, Sushma Swaraj and Vasundhara Raje, with an aim to protect Lalit Modi have been exposed thoroughly.”
“Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has only confounded the confusion. Even the Prime Minister himself can’t make further excuses by hiding behind technicalities of extradition laws,” he said.
