Arvind Kejriwal seems to believe in untruth and defamation: Arun Jaitley
"Free speech is unquestionably a pre-eminent Fundamental Right, but does free speech include the right to speak only falsehood? The Delhi Chief Minister, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, seems to believe in untruth and defamation, delivered in a language that borders on hysteria," Jaitley said in his blog.
He said Kejriwal made the move as a part of propaganda technique to deflect attention when he was in the 'dock'.
"It is a part of propaganda technique to deflect attention when you yourselves are in the dock," Jaitley said.
"Finding himself acting as a shield to cover an officer under investigation, the Delhi Chief Minister has attempted to focus attention on me. He repeats endlessly that I misled the Parliament on the Delhi raid and that he has a series of allegations to make against me in relation to my tenure as President of the DDCA – Delhi’s cricket body. The Congress transiently joined Mr. Kejriwal’s company for the reason that its own leaders are in the dock for more than one reason," Jaitley said.
He further said: "No personal allegation was ever made against me nor did I ever feel the need of contradicting it."
He called allegations leveled against him as unsubstantiated and non-specific.
"I have felt the need for stating the above in order to counter any unsubstantiated, non-specific allegations. I have left cricket administration in 2013. By referring to some facts of 2014 and 2015, he can’t drag me in," Jaitley said.
