In a fiery response to the recent controversy surrounding his alleged financial irregularities in India, Lalit Modi has come out swinging against his critics. The former IPL chief did not hold back in his scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi, and has even threatened legal action against the senior Congress leader over his 'Modi surname' remark. He said he has decided to take legal action against Rahul Gandhi in UK Court. Lalit Modi also took aim at the Congress party for branding him a "fugitive of justice", despite the fact that he has never been convicted of any charges. Rahul Gandhi has been convicted in a criminal defamation case and sentenced to a two-year jail term for his 'Modi surname' comment, leading to his disqualification as a Member of Parliament.
