Former Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot has approached Abhishek Manu Singhvi for legal help for the ensuing legal battle over disqualification notice to him and his MLAs.
When IANS contacted senior Congress spokesperson and legal luminary Abhishek Manu Singhvi, he said, “Two days ago, he called me. He is a good friend and I have high regard for him. I told him it is not honourable for me to advise him wo (without) telling him I am advising the opp side!”
“So we both had a good laugh,” Singhvi Said.
Meanwhile, Pilot and his 18 loyalist MLAs on Thursday moved Rajasthan High Court against Speaker C.P. Joshi’s disqualification notice.
While Pilot approached the apex court for relief, the Congress moved strategically convening two legislature party meets in two days and appealing to Pilot to attend the meet.
The Congress wants to invoke the clause (a) of para 2 of the 10th schedule, legal experts say.
The Speaker has issued show cause notices to Pilot and his supporting MLAs.
