Valsad: Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) following the Surat Crime Branch’s bust of a major interstate hawala network. Speaking at a BJP public meeting in Valsad, Sanghavi alleged that funds from an AAP-linked hawala racket were being distributed to individuals running YouTube channels across various districts of Gujarat.

Addressing the public meeting, the Deputy CM said, “Recently, I was watching a news channel where a case involving a hawala scam worth crores of rupees was reported. It was allegedly linked to a personal assistant of a leader from the Aam Aadmi Party who had come from Delhi. If you watch the video, you can see large piles of cash. This money had been distributed every month over the past year to individuals running YouTube channels in different districts. The funds were being used in attempts to create internal conflicts among the people of Gujarat.”

Sanghavi further said that as more details of the alleged conspiracy emerge in the coming days, the public would be shocked by the scale of the operation.

“In the coming days, as each detail emerges, you will be shocked, it will feel as if the ground has slipped beneath your feet, wondering how someone could attempt such actions against the citizens of their own country,” he added.

It is noteworthy that ahead of the 2022 Assembly elections, several YouTube channels had emerged in Gujarat which, allegedly operating under the garb of journalism, were promoting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Similar practices are reportedly still ongoing ahead of the upcoming local body elections. At that time, there were several allegations regarding links between such channels and the Aam Aadmi Party. However, with the Surat Crime Branch now busting the syndicate, it has become clearer that money was allegedly being funnelled into Gujarat.

Furthermore, with Sanghavi, who also holds the Home Department portfolio, making these claims, curiosity has increased among the public regarding which channels were involved and who operated them. DeshGujarat
