Kirti Azad to seek PM's intervention
Ahmedabad, Dec 25, 2015, DHNS
Suspended BJP parliamentarian and former cricketer Kirti Azad on Thursday said he will seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) row.
He said he wants to know “specific reasons” for which the BJP had initiated disciplinary action against him and suspended him from the party.
“I hope the prime minister will listen to my plea and do justice. I will also ask margdarshak mandal to come forward and look into the issue,” Azad told mediapersons in Ahmedabad. Kirti Azad landed in Ahmedabad on Wednesday evening on a personal visit.
Azad has been leveling allegations against corrupt practices in DDCA, which is generally being construed to be targeted at Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. However, the MP from Darbhanga in Bihar maintained that he was fighting against corruption in DDCA and that his fight was not against any individual. “How can corruption in DDCA affect the image of party.”
Azad was suspended from the BJP by its president Amit Shah for indulging in anti-party activities. He was also accused of colluding with Congress and AAP, bringing “disrepute” to the party. “I have been raising these issues for the last nine years and the AAP is a new party,” Azad said. He said he would submit his reply to party on the suspension notice by Thursday evening. “It does not mention any reason when and where I indulged in anti-party activities. What is my specific fault…,” he said adding that senior party leader Subramanian Swamy would help him draft his reply.
