Kejriwal has found himself in trouble over a controversial statement made during the Delhi Assembly elections, in which he claimed that the BJP government of Haryana is poisoning the Yamuna River.
Based on a complaint received regarding this statement, the Sonipat court in Haryana has issued a notice to the Aam Aadmi Party supremo, directing him to appear on February 17. The court's order specifically mandates that Kejriwal appear in person during the hearing.
According to the order, if Kejriwal fails to appear, it will be assumed that he has no further comments on the matter, and additional legal action will be taken.
