DDCA: AAP firm on stand against Jaitley

January 05, 2016 20:23

Aam Aadmi Party today said it was "firm" on its stand that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was "involved in corruption" in DDCA and said it would explain its position in court.

The party's reactions came hours after Jaitley stated that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders have made "false and defamatory" statements and rejected the charge that he had siphoned off money from Delhi's cricket body DDCA for his own benefit.

AAP had alleged financial irregularities in the DDCA following which Jaitely had sued Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh, Ashutosh, Kumar Vishwas, Raghav Chadha and Deepak Bajpai for defamation.

"He was involved in corruption in the DDCA and we are firm on what we have said. We will put forth and explain our stand in the court," AAP leader Sanjay Singh said.
