| Straining to be heard above a ceaseless chorus of slogans, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj tried to explain to Parliament why her assistance to tainted cricket tycoon Lalit Modi is neither political nor moral folly, as alleged by the Opposition.
"I repeat I committed no mistake," Ms Swaraj said, as Congress members of the Lok Sabha chanted "yeh nahin chalega" (this is not acceptable).
Both Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said Ms Swaraj was being wronged by being denied the chance to be heard, but the Opposition remained unmoved, reiterating noisily that the minister must resign.

The debate on "Lalitgate" began at the insistence of the Foreign Minister, who asserted this morning that she was ready "this very minute" to rebut the charges that she assisted a man wanted in India for grave financial crimes. The controversy has paralysed Parliament for its entire Monsoon Session, forcing the stalling of crucial legislation including the landmark GST tax reform.
Till today, the Congress had insisted that it would not stop disrupting parliament till Ms Swaraj was removed from office, along with Chief Ministers Vasundhara Raje and Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who it has accused of corruption.
