The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe into alleged links between the BJP’s Madhya Pradesh unit and Pakistan intelligence agency ISI.
The party has also demanded an independent probe since high-ranking members of the BJP and RSS are suspected to be part of the ISI’s spy cell in Madhya Pradesh.
‘Need impartial probe’
“It is not possible to expect an impartial investigation into the matter by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan as some of the suspects arrested have close ties with both the CM and senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya,” party leaders said in an official statement.
While addressing a press conference on Thursday, national spokesperson and senior leader of the party, Ashutosh, said, “The information coming out into the public domain is absolutely shocking. It appears that those issuing certificates of patriotism themselves have a lot to answer for. Even as the BJP and RSS liberally dole out anti-national labels to others, in reality it is them who have links to the ISI, as this Madhya Pradesh case has exposed. Dhruv Saxena, Manish Gandhi and Mohit Aggarwal were active workers of the BJP.”
‘Threat to security’
Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra, who was present on the occasion, said, “In the context of this newly-found link between BJP and the ISI, Modi must explain why the ISI was invited to probe the Pathankot attack. The links between the RSS, BJP and Pakistani intelligence agencies are a serious threat to our country’s security.”
