Arvind Kejriwal: Delhi L-G suggests NIA probe against Arvind Kejriwal for allegedly taking funding from pro-Khalistan organisation
In a letter addressed to the Home Secretary, Saxena said that he received a complaint regarding Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP receiving huge funds – USD 16 million – from the extremist Khalistani groups for facilitating the release of Devendra Pal Bhullar and espousing the Pro-Khalistani sentiments during 2014 and 2022.
Saxena also mentions that the complainant, Ashoo Mongia National General Secretary (World Hindu Federation India), has also stated that as per tweets on Platform ‘X’ by Dr. Munish Kumar Raizada, also confirmed the AAP supremo’s ‘closed door’ meeting with Pro-Khalistani leaders at Richmond Hill Gurudwara, New York, in 2014.
“In his tweets he also confirmed that apart from attending public meetings, Sh. Kejriwal held a closed door meeting, at the Richmond Hills Gurudwara, with Pro-Khalistani Sikh Leaders. It has also been mentioned in the letter that Sh Kejriwal wrote to former President Sh Pranab Mukherjee seeking clemency for Bhullar. In this context a copy of a letter by Sh Arvind Kejriwal, addressed to one Sh. Iqbal Singh is enclosed,” the letter further stated.
After the Delhi High Court denied Kejriwal’s request for immunity from coercive action by the federal anti-money laundering agency, the Enforcement Directorate arrested him on March 21.
On April 9, the High Court had upheld Kejriwal’s arrest in the money-laundering case, ruling that there was no illegality involved and that the ED had “little option” after he ignored several summonses and declined to cooperate with the investigation.
