controversy which has paralyzed the house almost for the entire ongoing monsoon session. 

The discussion was held under an adjournment motion as demanded by the Congress and was opened by senior party leader Mallikarjun Kharge. 

Here are the 8 key highlights from external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj's reply on the Lalitgate: 

1. I have done nothing wrong 

Sushma Swaraj refuted all allegations against her in the Lalitgate. She reiterated that she helped Lalit Modi on the humanitarian ground. 

2. My daughter did not take even a single rupee from Lalit Modi in this case, Sushma said. 

3. The Enforcement Directorate did nothing on Lalit Modi when the UPA government was in power. No action was taken for four years. 

4. Lalit Modi got right of residency in UK when the UPA government was in power. 

5. Rajiv Gandhi let Bhopal gas tragedy accused Warren Anderson escape 

Bringing up the Bhopal gas tragedy, Sushma Swaraj alleged that Congress had allowed then Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson to escape to the US. 

6. Chidambaram was involved in conflict of interest 

While P Chidambaram was finance minister, his wife Nalini Chidambaram took Rs 1 crore as fee from the Saradha Group. This is called conflict of interest, Sushma said. 

7. Rahul Gandhi should read his family history 

Sushma Swaraj said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi keeps going on leave. During his next leave, he should read about his family history. 

8. 'Mom, how much money did you get from Quattrocchi' 

"After reading his family history, Rahul Gandhi should ask his mother how much money she got from Bofors accused Quattrocchi," Sushma said.
