Jethmalani threatens to expose undesirables in BJP

May 30, 2013

JethmalaniNew Delhi, May 30: Expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ram Jethmalani has threatened to retaliate, exposing what he claims are ''undesirable elements within the party, who are in league with corrupt leaders''.

Saying that the BJP’s decision to throw him out of the party for six years over a “breach of discipline” was “stupid”, the noted lawyer and Rajya Sabha member added that “there are undesirable elements in the party who are out to demolish it from within”.

“They are in league with the corrupt rulers, whom I want to displace. And the cause of my expulsion is the presence of those undesirable elements in the party. I will not rest content till I expose them,” he said.

He believes that he was shown the door by the party because of his campaign against black money. BJP general secretary Ananth Kumar wrote to Jethmalani on Tuesday announcing the unanimous decision of the Parliamentary Board, headed by party president Rajnath Singh, to expel him.

The MP was suspended last November for raising his voice against then party chief Nitin Gadkari, who was facing an Income Tax probe on charges of business fraud that the Purti Group, which he once controlled, had allegedly indulged in.

The senior Supreme Court lawyer also remarked that the BJP was on a “suicidal course”, but felt that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is the best prime ministerial candidate of the BJP.

Interestingly, Modi was also part of the Parliamentary Board which decided to expel him from the party.

New Delhi, Jan 7: A fringe right-wing group calling itself the Hindu Raksha Dal has purportedly taken responsibility for the attack on students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in a video posted on social media.

The video, which was posted on social media on Monday and has gone viral since then, shows a man identifying himself as Pinki Chaudhary saying that those who resort  to “anti-national activities” will be treated in the same way that JNU students and faculty were.

He later told news channels that others involved in "anti-national activities" would face similar attacks.

There was no immediate reaction from the police on Chaudhury's claims.

“For several years, JNU has been a bastion of communists and we will not tolerate it. Hindu Raksha Dal, Bhupendra Tomar, Pinki Chaudhury take the responsibility of what has happened in JNU...all of them were our volunteers. Those who cannot do such work for Mother India don't have the right to live in this country,” Chaudhary is seen saying in the video.

“We are always ready to sacrifice our lives for Mother India. We will not tolerate anyone who speaks against the religion,” he added.

Efforts to reach the man were unsuccessful: his phone was switched off.

More than 35 students were injured Sunday when a masked mob went on the rampage, attacking students and professors and vandalising property. The JNUSU has accused the RSS-affiliated ABVP volunteers of attacking the students.
