Allahabad: Congress leader Pramod Tiwari on Saturday defended party vice-president Rahul Gandhi¿s attack on External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, saying that it was a very simple and straightforward question and the latter should tell the truth to the nation.

"Rahul Gandhi asked a question which was very straightforward in accordance with the Indian Penal Code that how much money did Sushma's husband or her daughter get as fee from Lalit Modi. Sushma ji has always been very active on Twitter and is always vocal when the need arises. But why has she kept mum over the past 24 hours," Tiwari told ANI.
