Complaint filed against Jaswant

JODHPUR: A complaint against BJP leader Jaswant Singh and nine other party leaders, including some Rajasthan ministers, has been filed before a special court here seeking action against them for allegedly using opium at a function.

Mr. Singh had hosted the event in his ancestral village Jasol in Rajasthan’s Barmer district on October 31 and rebel leaders, including four ministers of the Vasundhara Raje government and many others, attended it.

It was alleged that the senior BJP leader welcomed the guests by offering them opium diluted in water, a charge denied by him. — PTI
