AAP to approach SC over funding for political parties

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Tuesday said it will approach the Supreme Court to request a probe into the funding of all political parties.

"Five AAP leaders will go to the SC today (Tuesday) to submit an application for an SIT (Special Investigation Team) probe into funding of the BJP, Congress and AAP," AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said in a tweet.

AAP leader Ashutosh in a tweet said that he along with four other leaders will go to the apex court to hand over a letter, requesting to create an SIT to investigate the funding of the BJP, the Congress and the AAP.

"A team of five leaders - Ashutosh, Kumar Vishwas, Sanjay singh, Ashish Khetan and Yogendra Yadav - will reach the SC...," Ashutosh tweeted.

"If the BJP has guts, lets meet at a place of your choice and talk about each other's fund ??? In full public view !!!," Ashutosh said in another tweet.

The move comes a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made allegations on AAP of receiving funding from bogus companies.
