Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was being funded by foreign-based terrorist organisations.

Speaking on the sidelines of a rally organised by SAD candidate from Gurdaspur GS Babbehali, Sukhbir said, “Everybody knows who is funding AAP. It is clear that all money being collected by AAP is flowing from abroad. It is the money of terrorist organisations having roots in foreign lands.” However, he failed to offer any proof to substantiate his claim.

Earlier, at Kahnuwan, near Gurdaspur, he had surprised the gathering by saying that Kejriwal was in touch with Sikh radical organisations and had assured them “that the control of gurdwaras across the state would be handed over to them if AAP came to power.”

On the joint roadshow by Congress leaders Capt Amarinder Singh and Navjot Sidhu in Amritsar tomorrow, Sukhbir said, “Sidhu neither takes himself seriously nor does he take anybody else seriously. This time he is treating the elections as part of his ‘Laughter challenge show.’ The electorate should be wary of such persons.”

Amritsar: Sukhbir on Wednesday asked Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu to disclose whether he was able to recognise the holy city after coming back to it after three years. "I am sure you would have noticed the immense development which has taken place in your absence," the SAD president said in a statement here. He asked Sidhu to take a tour of the city, especially the Golden Temple, to take a look at the development works. "You would find many new things,” the Deputy CM added.
