New Delhi, Mar 10 (IBNS): Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, whose festival on the banks of Yamuna in Delhi got a clearance from the National Green Tribunal (NGT), has said he will go to jail but not pay the fine.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) imposed a fine of Rs. 5 crore on the Art of Living Foundation as environmental damage cost for holding a cultural festival

The spiritual guru told NDTV: "We have not done anything wrong...we will go to jail but not pay a penny."

The NGT while imposing fine has permitted the Foundation to go ahead with its festival on the Yamuna flood plains here.

The Tribunal will mention an additional fine later, reports said.
