No initmation on Jethmalani letter to Kejriwal: Sisodia

Press Trust of India  |  New Delhi 

Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia today said he did not have any intimation about lawyer Ram Jethmalani's letter asking chief Kejriwal to settle his over Rs two crore fee in defamation cases filed by Minister Arun Jaitley.

"I have not heard anything about what he (Jetmalani) has said," Sisodia said when asked about the lawyer's letter.


Sisodia's reaction came amid reports that Jetmalani has quit as Kejriwal's counsel and asked the chief minister to clear the over Rs 2 crore fee.

Earlier this week, Kejriwal told the High that there was no instruction from him to his counsel Jethmalani to use objectionable remarks against Jaitley.

During the cross-examination of the Union minister on May 17 before the Joint Registrar in the High Court, Jethmalani had allegedly used a term Jaitley had found objectionable.
