| Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who has sued Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for defamation, was cross-examined in open court today by fellow lawyer Ram Jethmalani. In course of a back-and-forth that went on for hours, Mr Jaitley was asked to explain how he called the damage to his reputation "irreparable and unquantifiable" and whether it had anything to do with his "personal feelings of greatness". Mr Jethmalani, a former BJP leader, was unsparing as he demanded that Mr Jaitley explain - why the defamation suit.
Mr Jaitley has taken AAP to court for accusing him of a role in financial mismanagement at Delhi's cricket body DDCA, which he headed for 13 years till 2013. He had filed a civil defamation case demanding 10 crores in damages.
Mr Jethmalani, who is representing Arvind Kejriwal, accused Mr Jaitley of trying to influence Chetan Sanghi, the Delhi government vigilance chief who handled the DDCA case, and persuading him to go back on his report.
Most of his 50-off questions at the Delhi High Court was based on proving that the defamation case was unfounded.
