The Haryana govt on Wednesday moved court against AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal over the allegation of BJP mixing poison in Yamuna River. The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court of Sonipat has issued a notice to the former Delhi CM in the case.
The court also summoned Kejriwal to appear before the court on 17 February. The BJP government in Haryana filed the complaint with the court under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita for the crime under Section 54 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005 and Section 353 and 356 of the BNS.
The court stated that if Kejriwal does not appear in court on the next hearing on 17th February, it will be assumed that he has nothing to say in this matter and further action will be taken as per law.
Chief Minister Naib Saini had filed the complaint against Kejriwal in Sonipat District Court alleging that Kejriwal had claimed without proof that the engineers of Delhi Jal Board had identified that poison had been mixed in the water. Kejriwal had claimed that the BJP was mixing poison in the river in Haryana so that it reaches Delhi.
The former Delhi CM had also claimed that alert Delhi Jal Board (DJB) engineers prevented the polluted water from entering the capital and stopped it at the border. He added that had that water entered Delhi and got mixed with drinking water, a mass genocide would have occurred.
However, the Delhi Jal Board refuted Kejriwal’s claims, calling them “factually incorrect, without any basis and misleading.” DJB added that the Ammonia level increases in the Yamuna water every year between October and February due to a decrease in water level.
