Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, a member of the AAP National Council, suspects his party — or its leadership at least — has connections with the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Upadhyay is addressing a Press conference at 2 pm at the Press Club of India on Wednesday. Earlier, he contacted this correspondent on several occasions over the phone saying he wished to get in touch with all founding members of the party who were dissatisfied with the way the party had been functioning (about 50 of the 300 National Council members are either sulking or have resigned).

It now transpires that Upadhyay is not a ticket seeker who is cross with the party for being denied a chance to contest in the coming Lok Sabha elections. His email addressed to the Prime Minister, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and Minister for Home Affairs among others, shows that his concern is nationalistic.
Titled, ‘Antinational activities of CIA, ISI, Ford Foundation & foreign funded Indian NGOs & Individuals’, Upadhyay’s email dated March 4 reads (unedited),
Dear Sir,
» Many Indian NGOs & Individuals
are directly or indirectly funded by American CIA, Pakistan’s ISI, USA
based NGO Ford Foundation, NGOAavaz&also funded by many other
foreign countries.
» Many of the Ford Foundation /
Foreign Funded Indian NGOs & Individuals are Pro-Separatist,
Pro-Naxal, Pro-Maoist, Pro-Terrorist and directly or indirectly involved

Caste, Creed, Religion & Social issues &weakening our social
unity& integrity of the nation.

very serious threat for our democracy, sovereignty and internal security
of nation.

& Pakistan’s ISI.
» It’s well known truththat

Social Activists / Research Scholars&Ford Foundation played a key
role in collapse of USSR.

CIA, ISI, Ford Foundation & foreign funded Antinational Social
Activists from contesting election.

Hours after the email above, Upadhyay sent an email addressed to
party national convener Arvind Kejriwal with copies to other senior
members of the party. It is titled ‘National First (sic) Party Next and
Self Last.’ It reads (unedited):
Dear Arvind Ji,
» Many National Council & founder members requested for 2-3 days National Council meet but it was held just for 1 day i.e. 31st January and entire time spent in speech only & time not given to National council & founder members to put their views.
» I tried to meet you many
times after national council meet to discuss these issues with you
personally but you couldn’t spare 10 minutes time for this.
» I emailed you 6 letter after
the national council meet but you not replied any one. Then I mailed you
again these and CC to national executives also.
» National First Party Next and
Self Last is my conviction of life. Now I am putting my letters in
public domain. PFA my letters dated 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, 11th & 13th.
Regards
About an hour prior to the above email, he had written another to the
AAP leadership with similar content. He thought his address to the high
command was not being taken with the seriousness it deserved. Hence, he
sent another.A copy each of Upadhyay’s emails is in the possession of this correspondent.
Upadhyay was apparently trying to forge a lobby within the party. A lawyer by profession, he has been inviting frustrated and disgruntled elements of the party to his chamber at the Supreme Court campus. Now that internal pressure has failed to work on the AAP high command, he has decided to bring the issue out in the public domain.
Upadhyay will hold another Press conference by the end of this week to cover the issue of the AAP’s suspected CIA connection. He has been associated with Arvind Kejriwal’s NGO Parivartan and Manish Sisodia’s NGO Kabir since their formative days.
The AAP national council comprises all its founding members who attended its national convention held on November 24, 2012 to adopt the party constitution. Begun with a strength of 300, its numbers are now fluid, as every now and then some or the other founding member is resigning.
