Upping the ante against Jaitley, AAP pressed for his immediate removal from the Union Cabinet and said it would not be “bogged down by such intimadatory tactics”. AAP government also announced a Commission of Inquiry to go into alleged irregularities in Delhi and Disrtict Cricket Association. Jaitley told PTI that he has instructed legal team in his personal capacity to institute civil defamation cases in the Delhi High Court and criminal defamation cases in the Patiala House courts against Kejriwal, Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha and Deepak Bajpai. Kejriwal and the five AAP leaders have publicly been making allegations against Jaitley and his family members with regard to the DDCA affairs. Jaitley has rubbished the allegations against his family members. He has chosen not to give any legal notice to Kejriwal and other AAP leaders asking them to apologise or face defamation cases. Instead, the cases will be filed straightaway in the courts. PTI
