Former IPL chief Lalit Modi's lawyer on Monday termed the entire issue involving External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj a "political jamboree" intended to "destabilise the government which is so far free of any scars or scams".

Addressing the media on behalf of Lalit Modi, lawyer Mehmood M. Abdi said the "non-issue is being blown out of proportion by the media", which is calling Modi an offender and criminal.

"No proceedings in any court of law has declared him an offender or a fugitive. He is staying in London with the full knowledge of and complying with British laws," Abdi said on behalf of Modi.
