Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala on Thursday said,”PM Modi must speak to his counterpart and ensure deportation of Lalit Modi”. He further alleged that “Prime Minister’s foreign visit had brought verry little things to India other than selfies and enhancement of brand Modi”.

Surjewala further said, that “If PM Modi fails to bring Lalit Modi to India then the people will beilieve in our allegations that the elder Modi is helping the younger Modi”. Narendra Modi had visited more than 39 countries since he is been elected as the Prime Minister of India

Pointing out the “links” of Lalit Modi to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje, the Congress spokesperson said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had “compounded the confusion” by his contradictory statements.

He said Modi cannot hide behind technicalities of extradition law as the new Immigration Act of 2014 allows UK to deport any fugitive who is not its national.

“Prime Minister is well advised to ensure that Lalit Modi is immediately deported and hopefully brought back to India simultaneously when Narendra Modi comes back. Otherwise India will believe what it always suspects that big Modi is helping little Modi,” he said.
