DDCA row: Jaitley sues Kejriwal, 5 other AAP leaders

December 21, 2015 10:40

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who has been accused of turning a blind eye to financial irregularities during his tenure as Delhi and District Cricket Association president, on Monday filed a civil defamation case in the Delhi high court against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and five other Aam Aadmi Party leaders for false statements against him and his family members.

He will also be filing a criminal defamation suit against the AAP leaders in the Patiala House court.

Backing Jaitley in the case, the BJP said that AAP merely wants to sensationalise.

"Arun Jaitley will help them now understand travesty of the law. If AAP carries on with what they are doing, they will have to face charges," BJP leader Nalin Kohli said.
