“Chaiwala”

Thank you, @SauravDassss, for retweeting this tweet, which Zubair posted and Suchitra Dalal quoted. Suchitra Dalal received ₹60 lakh, and Zubair received ₹55 lakh from the US-based Thakur family foundation via their two employees.

#WATCH | Delhi: On the Cockraoch Janata Party (CJP), Rajya Sabja MP Manoj Jha says, "You have seen my letter. If you were to read the contents of my letter, it concerns a journalist with whom I was connected on social media, as well as some of my colleagues from Delhi University who happen to be my seniors. I was informed that they needed to organise a specific event, a press conference. I typically do this sort of thing every two or three days for one civil society organisation or another... I was simply told that they needed to organise an event, and the letter itself states this clearly and unequivocally... I observe that many of my colleagues in the media, without verifying the facts and without even glancing at the actual contents of my letter, are now attributing motives. If you were to simply look at my past record regarding the Constitution Club, I have consistently assisted numerous civil society organisations. As far as I am concerned, this matter should now be considered closed... I had expressed this very sentiment back in 2012 or 2013, during the time of that earlier agitation as well. I do not offer comments on movements of this nature whose ideology lacks clarity... They didn't ask me for support yesterday, either. One positive outcome is that if anyone approaches me in the future requesting space, I will now conduct a proper inquiry..."
