New Delhi: An unrelenting Congress on Monday demanded the sacking of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj for helping former IPL chief Lalit Modi procure travel documents, and pointed out that she could not have acted without the "direct complicity and approval" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

As the controversy swirled over Sushma Swaraj's role in helping Lalit Modi, who is charged with financial impropriety and has been living in London since 2010, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi demanded that Prime Minister Modi sack Sushma Swaraj for helping a person accused of money laundering. "Mr. Lalit Modi is a symbol of Black Money. Mr (Narendra) Modi is standing behind Mr (Lalit) Modi. Who's Sushma Swaraj ji? She means nothing in this Government," according to a tweet on Gandhi's official handle.
