Sibal also said that he did not own a single share in Tehelka. Sibal’s comments came in response to BJP leader Sushma Swaraj’s tweet. ‘A union cabinet minister, who is the founder and patron of Tehelka, is shielding Tarun Tejpal,’ Sushma Swaraj had said in a comment on Twitter on Wednesday, without taking any names.
Kapil Sibal also added that BJP should have courage to name him. Sibal referred to a message in circulation in the social media which said that Tejpal is the son of Sibal’s real sister and that the union minister held 80 per cent shares in Tehelka. ‘There is a message going around in the social media which says that Tarun Tejpal is the son of a Punjab congress committee member and an MLA. I don’t know...
‘Then it says his mother is the real sister of Kapil Sibal. Now, I am sorry, I did not expect the RSS and the BJP to stoop to this level. They can attack me politically, but they should not bring my family into it,’ he told reporters here.
