If SC finds discrepancy in any party's funding, it should be scrapped: AAP

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson Ashutosh on Tuesday said that if the Supreme Court finds any discrepancy in his or any other party's funding, the recognition of that particular party should be scrapped.

"We are facing serious claims and want a probe into ours and other parties' funding. If found guilty, you can put us behind bars. If the Supreme Court finds any discrepancy, the recognition of that particular party should be scrapped," the AAP leader said.

The Aam Aadmi Party has demanded a Supreme Court monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe funding of all three major parties in Delhi polls.

The party's demand comes a day after an activists group calling themselves AVAM (AAP Volunteer Action Manch), alleged that last year the party received 50 lakhs through four bogus companies that were fronts for money-laundering.

The elections for the 70-member Delhi Assembly will be held in a single phase on February 7. The counting of votes will take place on February 10. The last day of campaigning is February 5.
