While talking to the media, Azad alleged that the CBI is indirectly helping DDCA by alerting the cricketing body through notices, resulting in “disappearance” of files.
While his letter to Shah on Friday didn’t sound confrontationist, the suspended BJP MP has indicated that he continue his battle against “DDCA corruption” and sought to confirm from BJP president that DDCA Corruption falls out of the purview of BJP. He said he would write to party president Amit Shah, seeking to know what specific anti-party activities he had carried out.
Bharatiya Janata Party veterans L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Shanta Kumar and Yashwant Sinha, who had virtually revolted after Bihar poll debacle, Thursday met here to discuss the suspension of MP Kirti Azad and issues related to party leadership.
“The BJP and RSS always speak about uprooting corruption”. Sources said the seniors decided they must “intervene meaningfully” to “stem the damage arising from Kirti’s suspension” yesterday but would stick to BJP forums to air their views.
The Ministry had declared the commission null and void.
He said Jaitley was a man of integrity and clean public image and the attack on him was due to political reasons.
The AAP and the Congress have come out in support of Azad, who reiterated on Wednesday that his suspension was “unfortunate” and that his fight was against corruption and not any individual. “We will be exploring all possible options including issuing show notice to the two [Bedi, Azad] who are also voting members”.
Advani, Kumar and Sinha drove down to Joshi’s residence at around noon and were in a huddle for close to an hour.
Swamy appeared to question the party’s decision to suspend Azad, asking whether cricket fell within the purview of party discipline.
Earlier, Azad had held a press conference detailing the corruption in the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA), which was headed by senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley between 200x and 2013. I never said anything against the party. The quartet is also unhappy, sources said, as the leadership did not reach out to them after their scathing statement on rout in Bihar assembly elections.
It further says that the allegations against his son are false and damaging for his morale.

“In all fairness and in keeping with the tenets of equity, I look forward to being provided an opportunity to clear my name on the serious charges of having acted against the party’s interests”.
