Jaitley on Sunday night had announced his intention to file civil and criminal defamation against Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and five other leaders of Aam Aadmi Party.
Azad asked Jaitley why he had not included his name in the list of those who he intended to drag them to court.
He said:
' Mera naam kyon hata diya @arunjaitley #Aap ne toh mere letters dikhae theey, mujhpar karo na case, registered post se maine bheje theey

On Sunday, Azad’s Operation DDCA had exposed huge corruption in the cricket body during Jaitley’ said tenure as president.
He had revealed how Jaitley had allegedly forged documents to accommodate hundreds of proxy members and flouted financial rules by not maintaining account manual for DDCA despite being a Rs 28 crore worth company.
