New Delhi, Oct 16: Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley has cautioned activist-turned-politician Arun Jaitley against sacrificing sanctity of truth for populism.
The advice from Arun Jaitley comes one day before Kejriwal's planned expose on BJP president Nitin Gadkari.
“I think those who indulge in exposes must always be extra careful about every word they say. Populism should not push them. This whole desire of being before the flood light should not bring in a situation where they say more than what actually appears. The sanctity of truth must also be maintained," he said.
"Individual reputations must be balanced with the need of probity and therefore unless you are very sure of what you are saying, I don't think you must cross the line. Therefore words must be measured, allegations must be measured. I think people in the civil society and in those organisations which have raised this campaign may be doing it out of the best motivation but they have to be very careful about what they say because their own credibility is also at stake. If you faulter once, people will not believe you the next time," added Jaitley.
It should be recalled that when Kejriwal attacked Robert Vadra over his dealings with DLF, BJP had lost no opportunity in terming allegations serious and demanded impartial probe.
Arvind Kejriwal attacked BJP for not supporting him on Khurshid episode. Kejriwal said BJP was silent as it had many skeletons in its own cupboards.
"The BJP is silent because it is scared that very soon even Nitin Gadkari is also going to be exposed. They are thinking if they will keep silent, the Congress will also not attack them and remain quiet. Both parties are trying to save themselves," he added.
Accusing both Congress and BJP of corrupt practices, Kejriwal said he wants to offer an honest alternative to the electorates.
