Akalis seek inquiry into AAP fund scam

Chandigarh, April 6

The SAD today demanded a judicial probe into the alleged AAP NRI fund collection scam, saying despite top functionaries being accused of embezzling hundreds of crores of rupees collected from NRIs, party convener Arvind Kejriwal was silent on the issue and had not even conducted an internal inquiry.

Asking Kejriwal to clarify whether he was linked to the scam, SAD treasurer NK Sharma said: “Your silence is mystifying. Either you are part of the scam or have been compromised by perpetrators. The truth can only be uncovered by a judicial inquiry. If you do not give your assent to a probe, it will be clear you too are party to looting NRIs in the name of working for their welfare.” — TNS
