The ruling Aam Aadmi Party also reacted sharply to the development, claiming the party and its leaders are being targeted by the BJP government through 'totally crass and baseless allegations'
Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has granted sanction of the prosecution to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against two people including Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Amanatullah Khan and Mehboob Aalam for allegedly misusing their position and causing financial losses to the exchequer while serving as Chairman and CEO of the Delhi Waqf Board, respectively.
The Delhi government's revenue department's sub-divisional magistrate (headquarters) had in November 2016 filed a complaint alleging "arbitrary and illegal" appointments by Mr Khan to various existing and non-existing posts in the Delhi Waqf Board.
