Punjab Congress Chief Captain Amarinder Singh asked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday as why he does not get his own NGO's Ford Foundation funding probed along with Sucha Singh Chhotepur, who is under fire for allegedly taking bribe for issuing tickets. While the AAP leaders from Delhi and Uttar Pradesh were maligning Chhotepur for accepting party fund, why was Kejriwal silent on the massive money Sukhpal Khaira (AAP's NRI wing incharge) and other leaders collected from the NRIs in United States and Canada when they visited these countries in last few months, he alleged.

He also sought a probe into the funding of Arvind Kejriwal's NGO which was "funded" by the Ford Foundation which in turn "gets money from the CIA". He also asked the Delhi Chief Minister how he could run an NGO while being in the service of the union government. "Charity begins at home and better begin the probe with your own funding from Ford foundation that is so suspicious and controversial", he told Kejriwal.

On Congress party's stand on Chhotepur and whether the party will welcome him back, the PCC president said, "Congress party's doors are open for everyone whether Chhotepur, Navjot Sidhu (cricketer-turned-politician), Pargat Singh or Inderbir Bolaria (suspended Akali Dal MLAs)". However, he made it categorically clear that there was no direct communication between the Congress party and these leaders.
