Congress asks PM to take up Lalit Modi extradition issue

The Congress on Thursday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take up the issue of former IPL chairman Lalit Modi’s extradition during his visit to the UK and to ensure that the “fugitive” and “black money exporter” is brought back. Taking potshots at the Prime Minister, Congress said this was the only visit where Modi can “fetch a lot for India in terms of concrete achievements”. If Modi does not bring him (Lalit Modi) back, people will believe that “big Modi is helping the little Modi”, said Randeep Surjewala, the party’s chief spokesperson.
