The Congress Party, which is adamant on the resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, gave an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha today on the controversy surrounding former IPL boss Lalit Modi.
The Congress is also likely to call a meeting with the like minded parties at around 10.45 a.m. to chalk out the strategy to corner the government in the Parliament.
