Swamy backs Kirti Azad, questions BJP decision
A day after BJP MP Kirti Azad was suspended for “anti-party activities”, the party’s Margdarshak Mandal members LKAdvani and Shanta Kumar held an informal meeting at Murli Manohar Joshi’s residence.

Azad said that he had full “faith” in Prime Minister Modi and would expect him to do “justice”.
He also dismissed claims suggesting his collusion with Congress and Aam Aadmi Party over the DDCA row.
Unlike their last meeting on November 10 when they had issued a scathing statement against the party leadership, there was no immediate public comment this time round with sources close to them saying that they will raise their issues at an “opportune” time and forum.
Azad also questioned the BJP to explain specific charges of anti-parties activities and said that he has not joined hands with the Opposition.
Kirti Azad’s suspension has left the Party divided and given a voice to many in-house critics, who are now raising concerns about the “increasing differences within the party”. “I don’t think party should lose such a honest person like him”, swamy told ANI. The move comes two days after BJP suspended Azad and served him with a show cause notice. “Thus, I wish that Narendra Modiji intervenes in this issue, goes deeper in it, and then tells me about what I have done wrong, as I need specific answers”, Azad told reporters here, as per PTI.
“The suspension of Shri Kirti Azad from the BJP is nothing but a manifestation of the Corruptionphilia that grips the BJP”, said Randeep Surjewala, the party’s chief spokesman. It is unfortunate that I was targeted for speaking the truth.
“As you (Shah) have not mentioned DDCA corruption, I believe that the party has nothing to do with this matter and (it) is purely out of its preview”, Azad added.
Reveling in the trouble in BJP, the Congress wondered if BJP can “suspend free speech, fair comment, exposure of irregularities and corruption”.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)has expressed its unhappiness over Bharatiya Janata party’s handling of the Kirti Azad issue.
On Monday, Azad had targeted Jaitley via twitter.

For the last few weeks BJP leaders were annoyed with Azad, for repeatedly raising the alleged DDCA scam both in and out Parliament, and alleging Jaitley had the knowledge about the corruption taking place.
