Expect chaos in Parliament today over Jaitley-DDCA issue

December 21, 2015 08:08

Dubbing as "diversionary tactic" Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's threat to slap defamation cases against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders, Congress has demanded his resignation and sought a JPC probe into alleged financial irregularities in DDCA under his watch.

The DDCA issue is likely to create ruckus in Parliament today with different political parties will look to target Jaitley as he is "practically the number two in the government".

Congress general secretary Shakeel Ahmed, the party's senior spokesman, said Jaitley's ouster was all the more necessary after BJP MP Kriti Azad's allegations about corruption in the DDCA. He said Azad was not just a BJP leader but also a member of India's 1983 cricket world cup winning squad. Jaitley headed the cricket body for 13 years till 2013.
