“Swaraj and Jaitley put up a last-ditch effort. They did everything except to answer crucial questions that arose out of Swaraj’s intervention on behalf of Lalit Modi,” the controversial former IPL boss, senior party leader P Chidambaram said.

Undaunted by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s spirited fightback and backing by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Congress today said it would persist with raising questions on the Lalit Modi controversy as government has ‘failed’ to respond on key issues.

The party also demanded “unqualified apology” from Swaraj for allegations against Rajiv Gandhi during yesterday’s debate in the Lok Sabha and approached the Speaker to seek expunction of the charges against the former Prime Minister.
