Amit Shah summons Kirti Azad over press conference on Sunday

He also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popular slogan “Na Khaoonga, Na Khane Doonga” and that the BJP came to power with the campaign against corruption.

The BJP MP was on Thursday summoned by the party’s general secretary Ram Lal.

Shah is learnt to have told Azad not to go public against a senior party leader. The move, he said, would damage the party’s image.

Azad is planning to meet mediapersons with details on alleged irregularities in DDCA.

The AAP and the Congress have alleged largescale corruption in DDCA during Jaitley’s tenure as president of the cricket body. Both parties have demanded Jaitley’s resignation on the issue.

Shatrughan Sinha seeks probe 

New Delhi: Parliamentarian Shatrughan Sinha Friday sought an inquiry into allegations of corruption in the DDCA when it was headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Sinha had earlier questioned the timing of the raid at the office of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s principal secretary. Praising party colleague Kirti Azad, who has levelled allegations against Jaitley in the past and is now preparing to “expose” him further Sunday, Sinha said a probe would clear the air over the allegations.

Sinha said: “It would be in the interest of both the parties that there is a probe. Honesty and transparency must go together.” He added that Azad, who he called “worthy son of worthy father ( Bhagawat Jha Azad)”, must have levelled the allegation after “doing his research and with understanding”.

Sinha, however, said that he was not demanding that Jaitley step down.
