New Delhi: In a reply to the allegations that the Haryana government is poisoning Yamuna the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs from Haryana on Tuesday hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi and ruling party leader Arvind Kejriwal for baselessly accusing their state of poisoning the Yamuna.
The leaders demanded an apology from the former Delhi Chief Minister.
Speaking with the media after presenting detailed information about the quality of Yamuna water being released by Haryana, Bhiwani-Mahendragarh MP Dharambir Singh said that for the past few days, Kejriwal has been making misleading statements, accusing their state of unleashing ‘water terrorism’.
Rajya Sabha MP Ram Chander Jangra said, “If any poisonous substance is found in the Yamuna water, Kejriwal should be immediately arrested for conspiring criminally. And if no poisonous element is found in the Yamuna up to the Haryana border, he should be arrested for spreading rumours.”
Rajya Sabha MP Rekha Sharma said, “As soon as Kejriwal realised that his government in Delhi would not survive after 10 years of lies, he falsely accused the Haryana government.”
She said the Delhi Jal Board has also clearly said that after Wazirabad, untreated sewage water from Delhi and industrial wastewater flows into the Yamuna.
Rajya Sabha MP Kiran Choudhry said, “Out of the 37 treatment plants in Delhi, only 17 are functional, and this is the result of the Kejriwal government’s failure. If all the treatment plants were operational, the condition of Delhi’s water would not be so bad.”
