Kejriwal to move SC demanding probe into funding of political parties
New Delhi, Feb 3 (IBNS): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said that he would move the Supreme Court (SC) asking for a probe into the funding of all parties including that of his own.
Kejriwal tweeted this a day after a group of its former members and supporters accused the party of accepting hawala (money laundering) funds.
AAP has been accused by some former members of collecting funds from companies which are fake, even as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was quick to take up the allegation to attack AAP for trying to project itself as the only clean outfit in politics.
The Aam Aadmi Volunteer Action Munch (AVAM), comprising former party members, on Monday in a media briefing alleged that the AAP got funds worth Rs 2 crore from companies which were only trying to evade tax, reports said.
AVAM member Gopal Goyal said the company in question never earned a single rupee and yet funded AAP. Four transaction IDs of Rs 50 lakh each were also mentioned by AVAM.
AAP, however, claimed that all donations were transparently published on their party website. The party almost raised Rs 30 crore for Delhi elections, sources said.
