Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, has assured Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi that he will “personally look into” allegations that the Aam Aadmi Party has ties to the pro-Khalistan group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).

Without mentioning the party, Amit Shah stated that he is personally looking into the matter. The home ministry’s letter to the Punjab chief minister comes two days before the state’s election, and comes after Charanjit Singh Channi’s letter to the home minister, in which he stated that the banned Sikhs for Justice is in frequent contact with the Aam Aadmi Party.

What is in Amit Shah’s letter?

“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.”

“I assure you that no one will be permitted to disturb the nation’s unity. The Government of India is taking this issue seriously and I will personally look into the matter in depth.”
