The Congress chief ministerial candidate flagged concern over the arrest of Gurpreet Singh Sekhon from the house of an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) activist, just two weeks after Kejriwal had courted controversy by staying at a KLF militant's home in Punjab.
There is apparently a "strong nexus between AAP and the militants as well as dreaded gangsters, posing a major threat to Punjab's security and safety", alleged Amarinder, demanding an independent investigation, preferably by a central agency, into the party's "dangerous" links.
Amarinder said while Kejriwal-led AAP had increasingly been exposing its "extremist ideology" in the run-up to the polls, things had now come to a head in the wake of the latest reports of Sekhon's arrest from the home of party activist Goldy Gill, an NRI who had been actively engaged in campaigning for his party.
