Aam Aadmi Leader Kumar Vishwas on Thursday informed the Delhi high court that his statements against Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley were based on information from top party leaders and sought more time in the matter.
“Before rendering an apology or making any other statement to Mr Jaitley on the issue, he wishes to know whether his party leaders lied or not while issuing statements against the Minister, who is a senior BJP leader,”Kumar told Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw.
The court has allowed Vishwas’s plea for more time to decide what statement he will make so that the suit can be disposed and listed the matter for May 28.
Earlier Arvind Kejriwal and few AAP leaders apologised to Mr. Jaitely for accusing the Minister of corruption during his 13-year stint at the Delhi and District Cricket Association.
However, the Union Minister has still continued his defamation suit against Kumar Vishwas who has still not tendered his apology.
