Goel demands an apology from Kejriwal
New Delhi, Sept. 25: Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel has served Arvind Kejriwal with legal notice for making defamatory statements and allegations and sought an apology failing which he will file a criminal case against the AAP leader.
Mr Goel in the legal notice said Kejriwal made defamatory statements deliberately and with malafide intention through his pre-recorded telephone messages and radio broadcasts.
In a statement, the Delhi BJP said that in view of the “mischievous and baseless” allegations of corruption against Mr Goel by AAP leader, a criminal complaint will be filed against him.
“The Delhi BJP president has already served a legal notice to him. The reply given by Kejriwal has no specific details that could prove even an iota of the allegations levelled against the Delhi BJP president. Hence the Delhi BJP president is compelled to file a criminal complaint against Kejriwal,” the statement said.
However, replying to Mr Goel’s notice, AAP convenor Kejriwal refused to tender an apology saying there was no question of tendering an apology for his public statements.
