Digvijay Singh questions Kejriwal on foreign funding of his NGO

Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh today (Sunday 21 Oct)  issued a list of 27 questions to Kejriwal, raising doubts about off-shore funding of his NGO and questioning his 20 years of service as an Indian Revenue Service officer.

Yesterday he had written a letter kejrival  describing him as a “self-serving ambitious megalomaniac”

Digvijay in his three page letter asked the following questions

• , “Why there are no details of individual donors and corporate donors on any website of your NGOs. Is it a fact that the NGO, Kabir, with whom you are closely associated, received $172,000 and $197,000 from Ford Foundation in 2005 and 2009 respectively?”
• "Was this foreign money used to organise seminars, advocacy, discussions, programmes, social media campaigns and publicity material related to the issue of corruption?" 
• Digvijay also questioned  weather or not  IAC received any favor from US based NGO  Avaaz.
  According to Singh Avaz has been funding the civil disobedience movement in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and Syria. 

• He  questioned Kejriwal on why he never raised the issue of corruption in BJP-ruled states.|We would like to remind Singh sir that kejrival has receantly revealed Gadkari's(BJP) corruption (See here)|
• He also asked questions about  Kejriwal's  tenure as an IRS(India Revenue  Service  officer).Singh asked how despite his 20 years service, he never served outside Delhi although the rules permit a maximum tenure of three years at any one location. 
• He wanted to know how Kejriwal managed to get permission to go on study leave with full pay and subsequently form an NGO despite central government rules not permitting it.

Kejrival's response 

He said that he was willing to reply to all queries but Singh should first convice Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and others to answer issues raised by the people.

“We had put some questions to Robert Vadra and the Prime Minister. Let them answer first. Then, we will answer all questions from Digvijay Singh. I request Singh to encourage Mrs. Gandhi, Prime Minister or Rahul Gandhi to come for a public debate.”

Kejrival in fact demanded a public debate with congress saying “Let’s question each other and let public question us on personal and public issues. Is Digvijay Singh ready? If he cannot convince his party bosses or the PM, then people would think he is doing all this for cheap publicity and to divert attention,”When asked about Singh’s remarks that there was evidence against the kin of former prime minister A.B. Vajpayee and senior Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leader L.K.Advani of alleged corruption but Congress will never use that to embarrass them, Kejriwal said his group has been talking about each party protecting others’ interest.
