Press Council Chairman Markandey Katju today shot back at senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley who had asked him to quit the post for being impartial. Lashing out at Jaitley, Katju stated that it is the leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha who should in fact resign as "he is unfit for politics." The war of words broke out between Katju and the BJP over his article critical of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Reacting on Katju's article, Jaitley wrote on the BJP web site that Katju's attacks on non-Congress state governments seem like "a thanksgiving to those who gave him a post-retirement job."
