Veteran freedom fighter Captain Abbas Ali of the Subhash Chandra Bose led INA has decided to pitch in for Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party.

94-year-old Abbas said corruption, communalism, casteism and now crony capitalism are threatening to destroy the very basis of our democracy.

He said that religious chauvinism and a dangerous trend of authoritarian style of politics would only spread disquiet among large sections of the people.
