They contended that the gathering ought to have sent a show cause notification to Azad, waited for his reply and then acted after a due meeting of the party’s parliamentary board. The suspension of Kirti Azad from the Bharatiya Janata Party is nothing but a manifestation of the corruptionphilia that grips the party, Congress leader Randip Surjewala said in a statement on Wednesday. “I request CBI not to issue notices (to DDCA), as files eventually disappear after such notices”.
The demonstrators alleged that the former cricketer was targeted for raising voice against corruption of Delhi District Cricket Association, which was headed by Mr Jaitley for 15 years.
He demanded to know “specific reasons” for the disciplinary action against him by the party.
Reiterating that the issue of corruption in the Delhi cricket body was old, Azad denied that he had teamed up with the Congress or the AAP.
The party issued a terse letter in the evening stating, “For anti-party activities, Shri Kirti Azad, MP, Darbhanga, is with immediate effect suspended from the party”. Azad is slated to meet Joshi to decide the future course of action. It wondered whether suspending a party member who “exposed” corruption is the new meaning of promised “achche din”, a reference to PM’s poll slogan.

He also said that BJP leaders facing allegations were sheltered by Modi’s “immunity” and complainants against corruption were suspended. Azad also said that he will file a PIL in his individual capacity over the DDCA issue soon. Swamy said on Twitter.
