| At a time when External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj is under fierce attack from the Opposition for "helping" Lalit Modi obtain UK travel documents, her ministry has refused to provide any information about the passport issue involving the scandal-tainted former chief of the Indian Premier League or IPL.
The ministry has refused to answer a Right to Information or RTI application containing seven questions, including who took the decision to not appeal the Delhi High Court's decision restoring Mr Modi's passport in the Supreme Court.
"Kindly note that the office of External Affairs Minister has informed that the questions in Serial 1 to 3 of your RTI does not seem to fall under the purview of the RTI act, 2005. As regards to queries Sl No 4 to 7, no information is available with EAM's office," the External Affairs Ministry said in its reply dated June 26.
