Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal tweets: Maanhani ke case karke Jaitley-ji ne apne pairon par bahut badi kulhari maar li hai. Apne hi jaal mein phans gaye. (Jaitley has dug his own grave by slapping a defamation case (against us). He is caught in his own web.

Yesterday, after finance minister Arun Jaitley filed a criminal and civil defamation case against Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders, the Delhi CM tweeted: "Arun Jaitley should not try to intimidate us with a case. Our fight against corruption will continue."


aitley on Monday filed both civil and criminal defamation cases against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and five other Aam Aadmi Party leaders for allegedly defaming him and sought Rs 10 crore in damages and their prosecution for offences that entails a punishment of upto two years in jail.

 

A week after a Central Bureau of Investigation raid on the chief minister's secretariat against his principal secretary that triggered allegations by AAP against Jaitley in the affairs of the Delhi's cricket body DDCA, the minister took the legal recourse saying the AAP leaders' "malicious and defamatory" campaign was causing irreversible damage to him.

The others who have been named in both the petitions are Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha and Deepak Bajpai.
