Won't oblige BJP by giving an apology: Arvind Kejriwal on DDCA row

New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said he would not apologise for targeting Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on the DDCA issue as his government’s panel did not give anybody a clean chit.

Let @arunjaitley be cross-examined in defamation cases. “No clean chit ever given by any Del govt probe. That report confirmed several instances of wrongdoings but did not fix responsibility,” Kejriwal said in another tweet. On the Delhi government’s inquiry panel into DDCA case, Kejriwal said in another tweet, “It didn’t mention ANYONE’s name n recommended Enquiry Commission to fix responsibility, which we have done now.” On Sunday, the BJP had demanded “public apology”, saying a report of the city government has found no evidence against the Finance Minister.

BJP almost begging me for an apology. Sorry. I won't oblige them. Let Jaitley ji be cross-examined in defamation cases. Let truth prevail
