Reacting to the defamation suit filed against him by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday asserted that the Aam Aadmi Party will not be scared by civil and criminal defamation suits against him and five AAP leaders and asked him to prove his innocence before the Commission of Inquiry.
The Delhi Cabinet has approved setting up of one-member enquiry commission under former Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium to probe alleged irregularities in Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA). The Kejriwal Government has also convened a special session of the Delhi Assembly on Tuesday to discuss the DDCA scam and CBI raid on CM’s Office at Players Building.
“Jaitley should not try to scare us by filing cases against us. Our battle against corruption shall continue. Jaitley should cooperate with the Commission of Inquiry and prove his innocence there,” Kejriwal tweeted.
Kejriwal and the five AAP leaders have publicly been making allegations against Jaitley with regard to the DDCA affairs although some of the allegations have gone beyond that.
