NEW DELHI: The Election Commission on Friday issued a notice to Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over a video posted by him on Twitter accusing rival parties of harping on "Hindu-Muslim" and "mandir-masjid" issues during the campaign, saying that it prima facie had the potential to disturb communal harmony and invoked communal feelings for securing votes.The notice added that the commission of the prima facie view that Kejriwal had, by making the said statements in the video, violated provisions of the model code of conduct (MCC) as well as Representation of the People Act (R P Act).As per transcript of the video posted by Kejriwal on Twitter at 9.55pm on February 3, Kejriwal had alleged that rival parties and media were highlighting only issues related to Hindu-Muslim, mandir-masjid and Shaheen Bagh protests, even as his agenda focuses welfare/development initiatives like education of children, expansion of mohalla clinic network, tackling city pollution, etc.While the model code restrains parties and candidates from criticising rival parties or their workers based on unverified allegations and also bars appeal to caste or communal feelings for securing votes, Section 125 of the R P Act provides that one who promotes feelings of enmity or hatred between classes on grounds of religion, race or community, shall be punishable with imprisonment up to three years or/and fine.The EC has given Kejriwal time until 5pm on Saturday to explain his position in making controversial remarks.This is the second notice served to Kejriwal during this poll. He was last issued a notice by the poll panel on January 30 over his promise to set up mohalla clinics in the courts. EC had, in its order issued on February 5 after Kejriwal had filed his reply, held his promise to be in violation of the model code of conduct provision that requires public servants, including ministers not to make statements, that disturb the level playing field or create doubts in the minds of voters regarding integrity of the electoral process. EC accordingly condemned his remarks and asked him to be more careful and exercise caution in future while making public utterances.
