Mr Kejriwal is already in jail over corruption charges linked to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation.
In an explosive turn of events Monday, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has called for an anti-terror probe into allegations Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal received political funding from the banned Sikhs For Justice group founded by wanted terrorist Gurpatwant Pannun.
The AAP hit back via senior leader Saurabh Bhardwaj, who dismissed the LG's call for a probe by the National Investigation Agency as a "conspiracy" against the party and its leader. "LG sir is an agent of the BJP... This is another big conspiracy against Chief Minister Kejriwal at the behest of the BJP, which is losing all seven seats in the Delhi election."
In a detailed letter to the Union Home Secretary, Mr Saxena referred to a video (which he said was enclosed with the missive) in which Pannun declares Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party "received a staggering amount of $16 million in funding from Khalistani groups..."
