The Ministry of Home Affairs will look into allegations of foreign funding for the newly-formed political outfit Aam Admi Party, even as its leader Arvind Kejriwal prepares to be sworn in as the Delhi Chief Minister on Saturday. Last month, the MHA had sent its queries to the AAP, amid accusations that it violated Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, and the AAP had submitted its replies. The controversy erupted last month after Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said the MHA would order a probe into AAP’s alleged illegal foreign funding. “The Foreigners Division has sent a detailed questionnaire to the AAP under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act…We are waiting for their reply.”
