No political motive for being Lalu Prasad's counsel: Ram Jethmalani

RANCHI: Expelled BJP leader Ram Jethmalani today dismissed any political motive behind representing RJD Chief Lalu Prasad in a fodder scam case.

"For me politics and profession are separate things," Jethmalani said, adding one should not interpret it of any political motive.

Jethmalani was replying to a media query as to how he agreed to defend Prasad when his principles were opposite to that of the former Bihar chief minister.

The veteran lawyer was here to defend Yadav's petition pleading Jharkhand High Court to transfer a fodder case from one special CBI court to another.
