Minister of External Affairs Smt Sushma Swaraj today through her hard hitting speech in reply to allegations made by opposition Congress party over Lalit Modi case proved that proverb right: Sau Sunaar Ki, Ek Luhaar Ki. Sushma earned pat on the back by senior MP Lal Krishna Advani on her back after she completed her speech. Sushma not just refuted the allegations made by Congress party including Rahul and Sonia Gandhi effectively but also lodged counter offence by quoting former Congress vice president and Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh late Arjun Sinh's book and revealed how then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had made a deal with America and made a way for escape of main accused of Bhopal gas tragedy in which 15,000 people were killed. Rajiv had made this deal for release of childhood friend who was in jail in America for 35-year term, Sushma alleged. Sushma's hard hitting speech happened amid chaos created by opposition Congress members. Congress leader Sonia Gandhi was seen on TV asking one of her colleagues to shout even louder slogans when her husband was under attack by Sushma for serious charges. Unable to counter Sushma over facts, the Congress MPs shouted loud slogans throughout Sushma Swaraj's speech. Most MPs were seen using earphones to listen to Sushma Swaraj's speech clearly amid slogan shouting. Sushma Swaraj exposed Congress that how for four long years when Congress was in power no procedure was done against Lalit Modi.In support of her arguments he showed number of documents. She also exposed procedural lapses on Congress part because of which extradition of Lalit Modi couldn't be possible. She clarified that Lalit Modi was not fugitive. She said her daughter was 9th rank junior lawyer of Lalit Modi and she had not received a single Rupee. She revealed how then Finance Minister P Chidambaram's wife was assigned job to represent as lawyer for same department. Sushma Swaraj's speech literally punctured the bogus allegations made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and others who have stalled the parliament throughout the ongoing monsoon session for this single issue.
