New Delhi, July 25 (IBNS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday said she never recommend travel documents to ex-Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi.

Swaraj tweeted: "You got it right. I am saying this time and again that I never requested or recommended travel documents for Lalit Modi."

In another tweet, she said: "I left this to the UK Government to decide under their own laws and regulations. And that is what they did."

The Congress has been demanding the resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and the chief ministers of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh over Lalitgate and Vyapam scam.

Since the Monsoon session commenced, the Parliament has been disrupted over these two issues.
