India, U.K. to talk amid rows

Two days after External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj divulged contents of a conversation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart, Theresa May, over the extradition of fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, Indian officials are willing to push the case to deport Mr. Mallya with British officials at the Home Affairs dialogue in Delhi on Wednesday.

The dialogue has already run into several controversies.

On Monday, Ms. Swaraj said Mr. Modi had snubbed Ms. May during their meeting in London in April when she had raised concerns over the poor condition of Indian jails, saying they were the “same jails that Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru and other leaders” had been kept in during British rule.
