New Delhi: The Congress found fresh ammo to fire at foreign minister Sushma Swaraj after a leaked email on Wednesday said former IPL chief Lalit Modi had offered her husband, lawyer Swaraj Kaushal, a position on the board of his family-run company, Indofil.
The offer via email was made in April 2015 and Kaushal rejected it over the phone.
“I have been a lawyer for Lalit Modi for over 20 years. I did not give my consent to be the director. The request was withdrawn,” Kaushal said on Wednesday.
He was offered the powerful position of “alternate director”, which would have enabled him to represent Lalit Modi and take decisions on his behalf at board meetings.

The Congress rejected the clarification and seized on the job offer to escalate the demand for his wife’s resignation from the government.
