Opposition criticises AAP over Rs 30.67cr tax notice
New Delhi, Nov 27 (IANS) Afer the Income Tax Department served a Rs 30.67-crore tax notice on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), opposition parties came down heavily on the AAP, saying the party that claimed to be transparent in fund collection did the opposite, .
“Arvind Kejriwal formed AAP claiming to be a party transparent in financial matters but right since its formation, AAP’s financial issues have been under suspicion and the tax notice comes after a long personal hearing at the IT department, so the party has no reason to claim innocence,” Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari said in a statement.
“Instead of indulging in blame game, the AAP should satisfy the law authorities in the matter of the notice served to them by the IT department.
“…It is time AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal clears the financial issues or be prepared for the party’s political write-off by the people,” he said.
Delhi Congress President Ajay Maken said that it was strange that the AAP, which “professed to do different in politics when the AAP was formed five years ago, by being transparent in its fund collection and bringing new horizons in this regard, has been issued a tax notice.”
He demanded that the Centre hold a thorough probe into the funding of the AAP following the IT Department’s notice “instead of doing lip service as had happened in the past when the CBI preliminary inquiry report was intentionally leaked midway through the probe to go soft on the AAP”.
“The AAP had given conflicting versions of its fund collections to the IT Department, the Election Commission and the information put in its website, which was later removed.”
“It is used to giving favourable versions to different agencies which exposes the real intentions of the AAP,” said Maken.
