New Delhi: Senior BJP leaders Yashwant Sinha, Jaswant
Singh and Shatrughan Sinha were with him in wanting party
president Nitin Gadkari to step down over his alleged involvement
in questionable business deals and other issues, lawyer MP Ram
Jethmalani said here Tuesday.
Jethmalani, whose son Mahesh Jethmalani Monday quit the Bharatiya
Janata Party's national executive, said he was in touch with
Jaswant Singh, Yashwant Sinha and Shatrughan Sinha on the issue
and they were all of the same view.
"I hope they will also take the same step. We are unanimous in our
views and I have no doubt about it. They have not expressed them
publicly and I hope they will express soon," the Rajya Sabha MP
said.
"We four are of clear view that a resignation of Gadkari is
necessary," he said.
He said he fully backed his son Mahesh Jethmalani's decision after
Gadkari compared Swami Vivekananda's IQ to that of underworld don
Dawood Ibrahim.
"I fully approve of the action of my son after this Vivekananda
episode. I think we don't need to be associated with the party
which he (Gadkari) is leading... nothing against him personally,"
said Jethmalani.
"Moreover, philosophy of resigning corresponds to life of public
servants who are government servants. If an inquiry is on against
a public servant, usually he is suspended; and if cleared, he
comes back with renewed honour and that is exactly how Gadkari
should behave," he told reporters.
