Explosive Claims: Meeting Allegedly Held Between AAP and Pro-Khalistan Factions in 2014
25 March, 24: In a startling revelation, US-based Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has made damning accusations against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), claiming that the political entity received a staggering $16 million in funding from Khalistani groups between 2014 and 2022.
Pannun, known for his ties to Khalistani extremism, alleges that AAP's involvement with Khalistanis dates back to 2014 when Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal purportedly engaged in a clandestine meeting with pro-Khalistan factions at Gurdwara Richmond Hills, New York. During this meeting, Pannun claims, Kejriwal promised to secure the release of convicted terrorist Bhullar in exchange for financial support from Khalistani entities.
Notably, Bhullar is a convicted terrorist involved in the 1993 Delhi Bomb Blast, a heinous act that claimed numerous innocent lives and left a scar on the nation's collective memory.
These accusations levelled by Pannun have sent shockwaves across both Indian and international political spheres, prompting widespread condemnation and calls for a thorough investigation into the alleged nexus between AAP and Khalistani extremists.
In response to these allegations, AAP has vehemently denied any involvement with Khalistani groups or accepting illicit funds. Party spokespersons have dismissed Pannun's claims as baseless and politically motivated, asserting AAP's commitment to upholding the integrity of India's democratic processes.
However, despite AAP's denials, Pannun's allegations have reignited concerns surrounding the infiltration of extremist elements into Indian politics and the potential implications for national security.
As the controversy unfolds, authorities are under mounting pressure to launch a comprehensive inquiry into the matter, with calls for transparency and accountability echoing from all corners of the political spectrum.
With the specter of terrorism looming large, the onus lies on law enforcement agencies and government authorities to swiftly investigate these allegations and take decisive action to safeguard the nation's democratic fabric and security interests.
