Ghaziabad: Former Samajwadi Party leader Kamal Farooqui on Sunday met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal sparking off speculation that he may join the latter's Aam Aadmi Party.
"Right now, everybody is interested to join Kejriwal," Mr Farooqui said after the meeting. When asked whether he was contemplating such a move, Mr Farooqui said that he "would let you know (reporters) tomorrow".
The prominent Muslim leader was sacked by the Samajwadi Party as its secretary in September following his controversial comment that Yasin Bhatkal, the alleged co-founder of Indian Mujahideen, was arrested because he was a Muslim.
Confirming the development, AAP leader Sanjay Singh said that discussions about "Farooqui joining the party is on".
"As Kejriwal has already invited such good persons, we again appeal them to join us and help us throw corrupt people from Indian politics," Mr Singh told reporters.
"UP government should compensate victims and do something for them," Mr Singh said.
