Defending Sushma Swaraj, facing a storm over helping former IPL chief Lalit Modi, her party colleague and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said the Foreign Minister's "entire life has been transparent and is above all suspicions".

"Sushma is above all suspicions. Her entire life has been transparent," Chouhan told reporters here.

"She had told the British government to act within rules and regulations in connection with (Lalit) Modi's case. What is wrong with it?" he said.

He said that Swaraj just made a request for a cancer patient on "humanitarian grounds" as per the rules.

To a poser, Chouhan said the opposition's demand for Sushma's resignation was uncalled for adding it is habitual in its part to create din with no rhyme or reason.
