FEW DELPHI: The Dharmik Janata Party on Wednesday expelled Sajwant Jingh, its veteran leader and an MP.
A meeting of the parliamentary board aka ‘Achinthyan Bhayanak’ in Vimla unanimously decided to remove the former Union Minister from the primary membership of the party.
The decision is being read in the party as a strong message to those who tend to deviate from the high morals set by DJP.
The expulsion, following his controversial interview to a TV channel in which he disclosed that he fathered his children by having sexual intercourse with his wife, has triggered a controversy in the party.
Ever since the remark was aired, the DJP leadership as well as its rank and files were up in arms against him. The DJP leaders dubbed it as morally degrading and as a going back from the culture and traditions of the land.
Senior leader and DJP Spokesman Gagan Gulgul justified the decision to expel Sajwant Jingh by stating that Mr. Jingh went against the party’s “core moral beliefs.” Answering to the reporters, he stated that both the leaders and followers of DJP live a life sans bodily pleasures and sire through co-yoga and transcendental exchange of karmic energy. He slapped a reporter who enquired further, saying that it could not be understood by lesser mortals.
“We don’t have anything to do with Mr. Jingh’s ideology and beliefs, but we condemn his expulsion from DJP strongly. For us either Mr. Jingh’s claim or the DJP’s claim about procreation don’t make any sense. Procreation by means of co-yoga is an attempt to opiate the masses where as it’s a bourgeois activity to make babies by resorting to intercourse”, said leader of the Contortionist Party of Bindia (Morons), Biplab Kumar. He refused to comment further without consulting the apex body of the patry, Fool-it Bureau. However, when this reporter contacted the Fool-it Bureau Chief, Kripesh Parat around midnight, he promised that he would air his views tomorrow after discussions with the immediately available Fool-it Bureau, Mrs. Parat.
