If helping a woman cancer patient is a crime, then I admit having committed this crime," she said.
Malta is an island-nation located in southern Europe. It covers just over 316 sq km, which is about half the size of Mumbai. The picturesque republic became the latest country visited by Lalit Kumar Modi. Expectedly, the founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is having a ball out there. Amid all the revelry, the scion of the $3 billion Modi Group found time to regale his million followers on Twitter with breathtaking pictures of the Grand Harbour, the Old Greek Bordello (meaning brothel) and other tourist spots.
Roughly 12,000 km from Valletta, Malta's capital city (area of 0.8 sq km), lies New Delhi. On Thursday, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj gave filmmakers enough food for thought to come up with a new genre of movies: 'angry senior-citizen woman'. No offence to Mr Bachchan and his cult stuff, of course.
Hitting back at the Opposition in Lok Sabha, she fumed, "Main poochhna chaahti hoon ki agar meri jagah Sonia ji hoti to kya karti? Marne ke liye chhod deti? (I want to know what Soniaji would have done if she was in my place? Would she have let the woman die?)" Neither Soniaji nor her partymen could answer that. "If helping a woman cancer patient is a crime, then I admit having committed this crime," she said. Last heard, she hadn't resigned for her "crime".
Down here in Mumbai, Enforcement Directorate sleuths are gung-ho over a court's decision to issue a non-bailable warrant against Modi in an IPL-related money-laundering case. According to those in the know of things, the logical course of events "should lead to" a red-corner notice from Interpol. This, people in the government are hopeful, will help "bring Modi to book". Modi termed it as "routine" the issuance of the warrant. Wonder where he's going next? Gozo, perhaps?
