Election Commission Tells Arvind Kejriwal To Come Up With Proof By Wednesday 8pm On Yamuna Poisoning Claim

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has asked Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), demanding he provide factual support for his claims that the Yamuna River is being poisoned, leading to mass genocide.

The ECI emphasized the gravity of these allegations, noting their potential to stir animosity among regional groups and the inhabitants of adjacent states.

The commission also highlighted the risk of sparking a law-and-order crisis due to the perceived or real scarcity of water, particularly at this time of year, as reported by ANI, referencing the EC's correspondence with Kejriwal.

The EC's request underscores the importance of substantiating such significant claims, given their potential to incite unrest and discord among communities.
