New Delhi: After quitting as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s counsel in the defamation case against Arun Jaitley, senior advocate Ram Jethmalani in an explosive letter has revealed that the Aam Aadmi Party chief “used worse abuses” than ‘crook’ for the Union finance minister.
Firing a fresh salvo at his former client, the senior counsel alleged that the Delhi chief minister had instructed him to use derogatory words against Jaitley.
“When Arun Jaitley filed the first suit and criminal case, you naturally sought my services. Ask your (Kejriwal) conscience how many times you used worse abuses than a mere ‘crook’. You have hundred times asked me to teach this crook a lesson,” the lawyer said in a letter that he wrote to Kejriwal on July 20, a copy of which was uploaded on his blog.

On July 26, Jethmalani announced that he has quit as the counsel of Arvind Kejriwal and accused Delhi chief minister of blatantly lying to him.
Speaking to ANI, Jethmalani said, “The reason behind it is he (Kejriwal) has spoken a lie. He has gone and said that I have not given any instructions, but fact is he did and I have them recorded. I’m not disappointed at all. I did all that I could do. If he does not pay me, I don’t mind, because I have fought for many for free. It does not make a difference if I lose one”.
