"Sibal and Jethmalani are advocates of several terrorists and it is a matter of national integrity that no such person are fielded on a Congress ticket," Bitta told reporters.

He said both Sibal and Jethmalani were dealing with the cases of terrorists and it is ridiculous that a political party like the Congress was encouraging such candidates.

"I have requested the Congress President Sonia Gandhi in the past," he said, adding he would campaign against the duo in the coming Lok Sabha polls but ruled out supporting the BJP.

He also urged all political parties to stay away from criminals as "some ISI agents have made their way into some political parties in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar."

"If such criminals came to power, it would be disastrous for the country," he said.
