Gurdaspur, Aug 31 (PTI) Terming the Aam Aadmi Party "aband of anarchists and opportunists", Chief Minister PrakashSingh Badal today said the "civil war" going within AAP wasjust a "trailer" and the battle would intensify afterallocation of tickets. "AAP is a band of fugitives, opportunists, anarchistsand confrontationists…Civil war is going on in the partywhich will further intensify after allocation of tickets," hesaid. He said the squabble for power had exposed that AAPleadership was totally "undisciplined" and "bereft of anyideological commitment". "People should not expect anything good from these greedypoliticians who are dreaming to attain power just for mintingmoney rather than serving the people," said Badal. "This party (AAP) neither has any history nor anycontribution for the state but the opportunists and turncoatsare joining this party just for the lust of attaining power,"he added. Citing an example of Delhi, he said the AAP leaders werenot concerned about the welfare of people and instead believedin "politics of confrontation". "They have a track record of fighting everywhere whichis not good for the state or its people," said Badal. Badal also called for a probe into the party’s fundingfrom outside India. "It is really a serious issue if any party gets fundingfrom abroad and must be investigated thoroughly," he said. The Chief Minister welcomed the announcement of NDAgovernment to set up Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe1984 anti-Sikh carnage. "Congress which had perpetuated this carnage has ensuredthat perpetrators of this crime were not punished but this SITis a welcome step as it would bring the guilty to book," hesaid. PTI VJ CHT RGCHT
