Centre Makes U turn, gives Clean Chit to AAP on Foreign Funding
Highlights
In a clear case of turnaround, the Centre on Wednesday told the Delhi High Court that nothing objectionable was detected in the foreign funding of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). In the bitterly fought Delhi Assembly elections recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress had tried to corner Aam Admai Party over the funding.

A breakaway group of AAP, the AAP Volunteer Action Manch (AVAM) had alleged it of irregularities and indulging in money-laundering.
However, both the BJP and Congress will cut a sorry figure after the Centre gave a clean chit to AAP over foreign funding on Wednesday. The BJP put forth questions to AAP and published advertisements in newspapers on funding. The Central government told the Delhi High Court on Wednesday that AAP's foreign funds were investigated and nothing was found in violation of the law.
The High Court's division bench had asked the Home Ministry to submit its up-todate report in a sealed cover by 4pm on Wednesday. The bench reserved the order on the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that sought a CBI probe into foreign funds the AAP received in the past and now in violation of law.
