Friends and foes

Amid the raging fire over alleged financial irregularities in the Delhi and District Cricket Administration, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Shatrughan Sinha, who has often taken a position at variance with that of his party, said "the party with a difference has become a party with differences". He advised Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to adhere to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's suggestion, follow BJP patriarch LK Advani's example and come clean. While Sinha was castigated by a partyman, look who came out in Jaitley's support - besides former Indian cricketers Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag, the captain of the Indian Test cricket team, Virat Kohli, and his teammate Gautam Gambhir.
