No to paying for statements made without connection to official duty

 Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sanjay Jain has said the statements made by Kejriwal on his personal Twitter account "have no connection" with his official or public duties and were "distinctly in his individual or personal capacity".

As per the opinion sent to the LG on April 6, Kejriwal had "opted to comment upon the affairs of a society (DDCA) and its erstwhile office bearer, which is not called upon to be so commented in the ordinary course of his executive or administrative functions".

The LG had sought the ASG's opinion after Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had proposed engaging Jethmalani to defend Kejriwal after the civil and criminal defamation cases were filed against him.
