AAP leader Atishi has said the charges stem from a 11-year-old case, one to which "all answers have been given to ED, CBI, Home Ministry, and Election Commission".
Delhi's ruling AAP - locked in a political row with the BJP over Arvind Kejriwal's arrest and assault allegations by Swati Maliwal against the Chief Minister's aide - has been forced on the defensive yet again, this time after the Enforcement Directorate alleged the party received Rs 7 crore from donors in Canada, the United States, the Middle East, New Zealand, and Australia between 2014 and 2022.
A furious AAP leader Atishi hit back at the claim Monday evening, declaring herself "very angry with (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi) and accusing the BJP - which she said is "clearly losing all 20 Lok Sabha seats in Delhi and Punjab - of orchestrating political attacks via the federal agency.
"After the failure of the liquor scam and the Swati Maliwal case, now the BJP has brought this case (back)... this clear shows BJP is losing the twenty seats of Delhi and Punjab. (But) all this is not going to work. This is not the ED's action... but the BJP. I know I am very angry with Modi," Atishi said.
The BJP, Vishnu Deo Sai said, has shown huge respect to Ambedkar, no matter who headed the government -- Atal Bihari Vajpayee or Narendra Modi.
