Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi that he would “personally look into” allegations against Aam Aadmi Party’s alleged ties with pro-Khalistan outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).
In a letter to Charanjit Singh Channi on Friday, Amit Shah wrote: “As per your letter, a political party being in contact with and seeking support from an anti-national, separatist and banned outfit during elections is a serious matter in the context of national security.
“The agenda of such people is no different from the agenda of the nation’s enemies. It is condemnable that some people, in order to attain power, can go to the extent of teaming up with separatists and hurting the unity of Punjab and the country. “
