Swaraj Kaushal had rejected Lalit Modi's request to be his alternate director on the board of Indofil, and NDTV broke this bit of news on July 1. It became the day's staple from the moment Barkha Dutt anchored this 'breaking news'. And the focal point of all discussion, dragging it back to Sushma Swaraj's intervention for Modi's UK travel documents. Poor Mr Kaushal, he got it in the gizzard for doing the right thing.
