Was I suspended for raising voice against corruption: Kirti Azad

December 24, 2015 09:49

Kirti Azad, who was suspended by the BJP on Wednesday, addressed media persons early Thursday morning. Here's what he had to say:

* "I have got a notice from BJP. Nothing is specific in it though. I will respond to it. Subramanian Swamy said he will help me draft it."

* "If saying the truth is a crime, then I will keep committing this crime."

* "I was fighting the issue (DDCA corruption) from outside the party. Want to know if I was suspended because raised my voice against it. I have also raised my voice against a lot of other cases of corruption in BCCI etc"

* "I want to tell PM Narendra Modi to look into this and tell me what my fault is, I want specific answers. How is DDCA issue linked to party? This is BJP's internal matter."

* "I have never back-stabbed anyone, no specific charges against me."

* "If I met other parties, at least BJP should tell me who I met and when it happened. This is my specific question."
