DDCA sources had earlier claimed that the executive committee was already mulling various options with regard to the former cricketers.

BJP MP Azad, who has been leading a campaign against Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on alleged corruption in the DDCA, was on Thursday suspended by the party which charged him for anti-party activities and accused him of "colluding" with Congress and AAP to bring it into "disrepute".

The action of the BJP Parliamentary Board to suspend him from the party's primary membership with immediate effect came three days after his press conference attacking Jaitley and subsequent acts of defiance both inside and outside Parliament.
