ED sent a dossier to the Home Ministry accusing AAP of financial irregularities

ED accused AAP of violating FCRA rules.

The Enforcement Directorate has filed an official dossier with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), alleging that Delhi’s ruling party has received more than Rs 7 crore in foreign funds in violation of FCRA rules and the Representation of the People Act.

In a letter to the Home Ministry, ED said that Aam Aadmi Party illegally received Rs 7 crore from abroad.

The agency told the ministry that certain fund-raising events organized by the party through volunteers of AAP’s foreign wing in the US and Canada between 2015 and 2016 allegedly violated the FCRA.

The ED also informed the Home Ministry that the names and nationality of some Canadians have been ‘hidden’ in the party’s financial records to conceal foreign donations flowing into the party’s Indian bank accounts.

Responding to this matter, AAP said, “These are baseless allegations. This is an old case in which it has already been proved that no illegal donations have been taken.
