New Delhi, April 8 (IANS) As the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) national spokesperson, Ravi Shankar Prasad is quite used to ducking tricky questions. But a poser on lawyer and former minister Ram Jethmalani had him stumped.
At a 'Friends of BJP' meet in Goa, he was asked why the BJP had given lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani a Lok Sabha ticket even though his father Ram Jethmalani had spoken of fighting the cause of Afzal Guru, a terror convict who the party believes should be hanged.
Prasad opted for a diplomatic pause, before quipping: 'Mahesh Jethmalani is vastly different from his father'. Pointing to the media, he added, 'The media is here. I don't want to comment more.'
