Notice issued by EC

New Delhi: A day before Delhi goes to polls, the Election Commission (EC) on Friday issued a notice to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over a video he uploaded on his Twitter account.

 The video purportedly shows that other parties and media are allegedly talking of "Hindu-Muslim", "CAA" and "mandir-masjid", but Kejriwal was talking of development, schools and women safety.

The poll body said that Kejriwal violated the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) through the video that has the potential to disturb communal harmony.

The EC on Wednesday condemned Kejriwal for promising mohalla clinics at all city courts.

It also warned the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), national convener, to be "more careful" and exercise caution while making such public utterances and statements.

The EC has given him till 5 pm on Saturday to respond to the notice, failing which action will be taken against him.

The poll watchdog had fond his remarks in violation of the Model Code of Conduct and seen as a promise by a party in power.
