GG News Bureau

New Delhi, 19^th Feb. Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday assured Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi that the Centre has taken the matter of the alleged links between the banned organisation ‘Sikhs for Justice’ and the Aam Aadmi Party seriously and he would personally ensure that the matter is looked into in detail.

Earlier, Channi had written to the Union Home Minister alleging that the banned organization Sikhs for Justice is in touch with AAP.

The Union Home Minister said that the Punjab Chief Minister had requested an investigation against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) taking the help of banned separatist organization Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) for Punjab Assembly elections.

“A political party maintaining a connection with a banned, anti-national and separatist organization and seeking help in elections is a serious concern for national security. This kind of agenda is in accordance with the agenda of the country’s enemies. It is condemnable that these people are joining hands with separatists and working towards threatening Punjab as well as nations’ security in the greed of power,” Shah said in his letter to the Punjab CM Channi.

The Union Home Minister assured Channi that the central government took cognizance of the matter and will not allow anyone to threaten the country’s unity and integrity.

“I personally will ensure that the matter is looked into in detail,” said Shah.

In a letter to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Punjab CM said, “Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), which is a banned organization, is in constant touch with Aam Aadmi Party. The SFJ has given support to AAP in the elections to the State Assembly in 2017 and similarly in these elections too. The SFJ has exhorted the electorate to vote for the Aam Aadmi Party. This is a serious issue of compromising the security and integrity of the country and thus needs to be investigated. I would urge upon you to immediately get this matter investigated for taking appropriate action in this regard.”
