Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani in an explosive letter has claimed that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal &ldquo;used worse abuses than a mere crook&rdquo; for finance minister Arun Jaitley.

&quot;When Arun Jaitley filed the first suit and criminal case, you naturally sought my services. Ask your conscience how many times you used worse abuses than a mere &#39;crook&#39;. You have hundred times asked me to teach this crook a lesson,&quot; the lawyer said in a letter that he wrote to Kejriwal on July 20, a copy of which was uploaded on his <a href="http://ramjethmalanimp.blogspot.in/">blog</a>.

On May 18, Jethmalani had called the finance minister a &ldquo;crook&rdquo; in court, after which Jaitley had filed a fresh Rs 10-crore suit against Kejriwal.

The chief minister, however, clarified in the Delhi High Court that he had not asked Jethmalani to use derogatory and objectionable words against Jaitley.

&ldquo;That with due respect, it is submitted that neither the answering defendant nor the counsel briefing the senior counsel gave instructions to the learned senior counsel to use the objectionable words&hellip; The answering defendant vide letter July 19, 2017 has conveyed to the senior counsel directly that no instructions to use objectionable words were ever given by him at any point of time to the learned senior counsel,&rdquo; Kejriwal told the court in his reply to an application filed by Jaitley, according to the Indian Express.

On July 26th, Jethmalani quit as Kejriwal&rsquo;s lawyer.

&quot;The reason behind it is he has spoken a lie. He has gone and said that I have not given any instructions, but fact is he did and I have them recorded. I&#39;m not disappointed at all; I did all that I could do. If he does not pay me I don&#39;t mind, because I have fought for many for free. It does not make a difference if I lose one&quot;, Jethmalani told ANI.

Jaitley also alleged that he was asked scandalous questions and attempts were being made to delay the proceedings in the Rs 10 crore civil defamation suit, which he had filed against Kejriwal and five Aam Aadmi Party leaders in 2015.

On May 18, Jethmalani had called the finance minister a 'crook' in court, after which Jaitley had filed a fresh Rs 10-crore suit against Kejriwal

Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani in an explosive letter has claimed that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal “used worse abuses than a mere crook” for finance minister Arun Jaitley. "When Arun Jaitley filed the first suit and criminal case, you naturally sought my services. Ask your conscience how many times you used worse abuses than a mere 'crook'. You have hundred times asked me to teach this crook a lesson," the lawyer said in a letter that he wrote to Kejriwal on July 20, a copy of which was uploaded on his blog. On May 18, Jethmalani had called the finance minister a “crook” in court, after which Jaitley had filed a fresh Rs 10-crore suit against Kejriwal.
