New Delhi, Jul 1 (IBNS) Alleging that former IPL boss Lalit Modi had offered job to a family member of a BJP minister the Congress on Wednesday demanded an inquiry into it by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Lalit Modi, the Indian fugitive, also made an offer to a family member of a minister. Why did he do so ? We want the Prime Minister to inquire," Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said.

"Congress has asked the Prime Minister to make a full disclosure of facts and evidence so that the truth comes out. We have placed before the Prime Minister all the documents that are available," he said.

"We should all know how Lalit Modi was being helped and why was he being helped being an Indian fugitive," Surjewala  added.
