New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday made a passionate defence of her role in the Lalit Modi affair, but the Congress tore into her and blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the unending parliament logjam.
Detailing her role for the first time in parliament, the minister -- whose resignation has been sought by the opposition -- sought to give a humanitarian twist to the saga, saying she acted the way she did only because the former IPL chief's wife faced a life threatening situation.
