New Delhi, Jan 12 (IBNS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said Arun Jaitley has no public character while replying to the defamation case filed by the Union Finance Minister regarding the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) scam.

"The plaintiff's claim that he enjoys and in fact possesses high public character is a totally frivolous and unsustainable claim," said Kejrwial, "No injury of any kind has been caused to the plaintiff's reputation which he claims."

Kejriwal added that despite BJP's success in the Lok Sabha elections, Jaitley lost by a margin of more than one lakh votes.

"Indian democracy has never accepted his claim of public character," was Kejriwal's reply.

Arun Jaitley had filed the defamation case against  Kejriwal and five other AAP leaders.

He had accused them of unfairly targeting him in the DDCA scam, seeking damages of Rs 10 crore.
