Haryana Court Summons Arvind Kejriwal On Feb 17 Over 'Poisoning' Yamuna Claims
Earlier today, Haryana Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Vipul Goel said that the state government will get a case registered against Kejriwal over his claims reagrding 'poisoning' Yamuna.
A Haryana court has summoned Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal over his claims on the Haryana government "poisoning" the Yamuna's water to disrupt the water supply in Delhi.
According to a report by the India Today, the court has asked Kejriwal to appear before February 17, failing which action will be taken against him.
This comes after Haryana Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Vipul Goel on Wednesday said that the state government will register a case against Kejriwal over his claims, which he called "irresponsible" and aimed at "spreading panic" among the people in Delhi ahead of the Assembly polls.
"Kejriwal has made an irresponsible statement spreading panic among the people of Delhi and Haryana. Haryana government is going to get a case registered against him before CJM Court in Sonipat under the Disaster Management Act's Sections 2 (D) and 54," Goel told news agency PTI.
Hitting out at the former Delhi chief minister, the Haryana minister further accused Kejriwal of speaking "a big lie". "What kind of water we give them (to Delhi), all our officers have checked the water being supplied," he said.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also blasted Kejriwal over his "disgusting allegations", questioning how the Haryana BJP government could poison the Prime Minister, who also drinks the same water from Yamuna like every Delhi resident.
"A former CM has made malicious allegations against the people of Haryana. 'AAP-da' people have become desperate due to the fear of defeat. Is Haryana different from Delhi? Don't they have children and relatives in Delhi? Will they mix poison for their own people?" PM Modi asked, hitting out at the AAP supremo.
He further said the people of Delhi, diplomats in the embassies, and even the judges residing in the national capital drink the same water from Haryana.
In another development, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini visited the Palla Ghat in Delhi and took a sip of water from the Yamuna there. He then slammed Kejriwal for "creating fear" in the minds of the people for "political benefits".
Kejriwal, in a post in Hindi on X, had alleged that BJP-led Haryana government was mixing poison in the water and sending it to Delhi's Yamuna.
"If people in Delhi drink this water, many will die. Can anything be more disgusting than this? The poison that is being mixed in the water cannot even be cleaned in water treatment plants. For the safety of the people of Delhi, the water supply has to be stopped in many areas," he said, alleging that the BJP wants to commit a "mass murder" of Delhi residents.
लोगों को प्यासा मारने से बड़ा पाप नहीं होता। अपनी गंदी राजनीति के लिए बीजेपी दिल्ली वालों को प्यासा मारना चाहती है।

हरियाणा से बीजेपी वाले पानी में ज़हर मिलाकर दिल्ली भेज रहे हैं। अगर ये पानी दिल्ली वालों ने पी लिया तो कई लोग मर जाएँगे।
