EC Demands Proof From Kejriwal To Substantiate Yamuna Poisoning Claims

NEW DELHI: The Commission warned him about legal consequences, including potential three-year imprisonment, for statements that could harm national unity and public peace.

The EC has set an 8 pm Wednesday deadline for Kejriwal to provide specifics about the alleged chemicals used in the river that he claimed could have caused mass casualties. The Commission also asked for details about his statement that Delhi Jal Board engineers detected and prevented the situation.

The action follows complaints filed by both BJP and Congress against Kejriwal's statements about the Yamuna River poisoning.

"As regards the allegations of poisoning, it is expected that there must be a factual foundation to the allegations, especially when the veracity of the statements made by you is contested, you must be able to back your statements on a factual basis," EC told the AAP leader.
