New Delhi, Oct 10 (IBNS) After publiclly sacking his Cabinet minister Asim Khan, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called a meeting of all Aam Aadmi Party (AAM) MLAs and their families on Sunday evening to warn them against indulging in corrupt practices.

"Meeting all MLAs, with families, tomo eve. To remind them why we came in politics. To warn them that Asim Khan episode shud not happen again," he tweeted on Saturdaymorning.

Kejriwal said that he will remind his party leaders their motive of entering the political battlefield.

It was for the first time that a Chief Minister sacked his minister on live TV as he announced on Friday  the decision against his  Food and Civil Supplies Minister Asim Ahmed, dismissed  on charges of corruption.

An audio tape was played out by the Chief Minister in a press conference in which Khan was heard allegedly seeking Rs 6 lakh from a builder. 

After sacking Khan, Kejriwal challenged the Bharatiya Janata Party to act against Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his Rajasthan counterpart Vasundhara Raje.

Asim Ahmed Khan on his part said, " It's a political conspiracy against me. I will come out clean. I was asked to resign by my party and I had tendered my resignation. I am a businessman this conversation might be related to one of my personal business deal."
