A 1000-dollar donation made to the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP two months ago from Canada is bonafide, said Jaskirat Mann, who made the donation along with her husband, a businessman.
In December, Mrs Mann donated a thousand dollars to the party led by Arvind Kejriwal. A group that split from the party last year and calls itself AVAM had alleged on Wednesday that the money was paid by cheque and allowed money laundering for a dubious Canadian businessman.
Mrs Mann told NDTV that the basic facts being offered by AVAM are incorrect. She said the donation had been made by credit card and she said that because she is an Indian citizen, the contribution was legal and not in violation of laws that ban parties from taking money from foreigners.
On Monday, AVAM said that Mr Kejriwal's party accepted 50 lakhs each from four companies on the same day last year and that the firms have financial records that don't check out.
The row has engulfed AAP on a major controversy just days before Delhi votes. Mr Kejriwal is taking on the BJP and its chief ministerial candidate, Kiran Bedi.
