New Delhi: Cracking the whip, BJP President Nitin Gadkari on Sunday suspended a defiant Ram Jethmalani from the party with immediate effect for daring it to act against him on the CBI chief’s appointment issue, saying it was “gross indiscipline”.
A meeting of the BJP has been convened on Monday to take a call on his expulsion, party spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said.
Jethmalani invited the BJP wrath after attacking the party for criticising the appointment of new CBI Director Ranjit Sinha. The party had indicated on Saturday that action against Jethmalani may be taken.
