New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party`s chief Arvind Kejriwal has questioned the telecasting of BJP manifesto by some channels on Monday despite Election Commission`s ban. Kejriwal, in his tweets, said that though EC has banned telecast of the BJP manifesto which is released today, yet many channels are doing the same.

EC banned telecast of BJP manifesto today due to elections. Still, many channels did it. Why?....

He also accused some top editors of deliberately violating EC directions. “Some top editors exchanged messages and telecasted BJP manifesto in violation of EC directions,” said Kejriwal.

Kejriwal, further added, that the editors involved in this conspiracy had taken a stand that they were ready to face consequences. However, he also mockingly questioned whether it is `fearlessness` or readiness to violate constitution for commerce.
