AVAM's 'dubious funding' charges against AAP: Events as they unfold

NEW DELHI: As the battle for Delhi heats up, allegations of funding by 'dubious companies' hit Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party on Monday. Questioning claims of 'transparency', AAP Volunteer Action Manch ( AVAM) alleged that the Kejriwal-led party (AAP) has indulged in a 'funding scam'.

According to AVAM, AAP received four donations of Rs 50 lakh each from bogus companies. "AAP made dummy entries to evade tax," AVAM went on to accuse. "AAP is indulging in money laundering," AVAM alleged.

Reacting to the claims, AAP leader Atishi Marlena said, "We will welcome any investigation agency to probe funds. All transactions are legitimate, we have nothing to hide."

BJP also demanded answers from AAP on the allegations made by AVAM. "There are 31 shell companies through which such operations are happening," said Nirmala Sitharaman. "We've heard of freedom at midnight. Can call this ' Hawala at midnight', 'Ghotala at midnight'," said Shazia Ilmi.
