Sushma Swaraj hits back at journo who raked up propriety issue </br> Under attack for helping fugitive former IPL boss Lalit Modi obtain travel documents in UK, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today hit back at a TV journalist who had raked up the issue of propriety in the matter. "Look who is preaching propriety -of all the persons…," Swaraj tweeted. Swaraj has been under attack by political parties and others for helping scam-tainted Modi to obtain British travel documents after the disclosure of emails showing that she had spoken to Indian-origin British MP Keith Vaz and its High Commissioner here James Bevan seeking favours for the former cricket administrator, who had to go to Portugal, purportedly for his wife's cancer treatment in June last year.

<br>War of words between Nitish Kumar and BJP over Yoga</br> <br>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Modi today castigated Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his snide remarks against Amit Shah and Baba Ramdev vis-a-vis promotion of International Yoga Day on June 21. He also slammed Kumar for not organising an official function to promote the exercise in Bihar. "Kumar has needlessly attacked BJP president Amit Shah and yoga guru Baba Ramdev for promoting the International Yoga Day scheduled for June 21… being himself a yoga supporter and practitioner, he should have organised official functions to promote the ancient exercise form," Sushil told reporters here. The former deputy chief minister complimented yoga guru Ramdev for yeoman service to promote the ancient exercise form as a fitness activity in the country and across the world. Kumar had yesterday taken a dig at Ramdev for maximising his skills as a yoga expert to brand himself as a business and marketing guru. (PTI) (16/06/2015) </br> -
