Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken on Sunday sought a probe into the allegations made by Kapil Mishra regarding illegal foreign funding received by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Maken also demanded Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation on moral and legal ground.
Maken said here should be an investigation to trace the source of foreign funding to AAP, adding that it was “unlikely that the Government agencies were unaware of it”.
“The party (AAP), which opened shell companies to convert black money into white money to show in its account, also gets illegal foreign funding, which is a serious matter,” he said.
The Congress leader also targeted the BJP-led Government at the Centre and wondered why was it not taking action against Kejriwal and why an FIR under the Prevention of Money laundering Act was not lodged against the AAP Government.
Mishra on Saturday accused Kejriwal and his party of “massive financial irregularities”.
Earlier, Congress leaders Anand Sharma and Amarinder Singh had claimed that “divisive forces sitting in foreign countries” were funding the AAP.
