Today, Home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has said that the government would be probing the source of AAP's funds. He said the government has received complaints that AAP is receiving foreign funds in violation of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act.

Seeking a record fourth term in office, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit yesterday questioned the source of funding of Arvind Kejriwal's AAP - a new force in the city's political scene - whose main election plank is to check corruption.

Launching a counter-offensive on AAP, Dikshit lambasted it for making baseless allegations against her government and trying to paint everybody with the "same brush" and questioned its credibility as a political party.

"Where do you (AAP) get all the money from. You can call me a liar or I can call you a thief. But is there any proof to say that I am a liar? Is there any proof to say that you are a thief. Just by pointing fingers you cannot make somebody corrupt. Everybody is living in glass houses," Dikshit told PTI in an interview.
