PIL filed for CBI probe in AAP's foreign funding
New Delhi, Feb 4
A public interest litigation
(PIL) was filed Wednesday in the Delhi High Court to seek a CBI probe
into foreign funds the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) received in the past and
now in violation of law.
The plea came days after AAP Volunteer
Action Manch (AVAM), a group of volunteers who broke away from the AAP
in August last year, alleged that the party received Rs.2 crore in four
equal installments from the companies registered in Delhi slums and
having the same set of directors.
The group has claimed that
April 5, 2014, four bogus companies made donations of Rs.50 lakh each
through cheques to AAP at midnight. It alleged the companies made those
donations despite not having earned profits for two years.
Advocate
M.L. Sharma filed an application in the ongoing case that sought
registration of a criminal case against AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and
others for allegedly receiving foreign funds in violation of law.
Sharma
claimed that it has been revealed that lakhs of phone calls from Dubai
and other countries have been made to Delhi, especially to the Muslim
community for supporting AAP's election.
"The AAP now has been
securing funds from foreign country, especially Muslim terrorist, in
cash converting through false cheques as well as phone calls to Delhi
from Dubai and other countries what they already did in the last
election in 2013," the plea said.
