Kejriwal vows action against desecration

Reaching out to Punjabi's in their own language, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has vowed not to spare those involved in the 2015 alleged desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib at Faridkot's Bargari village.

The message, where the AAP chief begins speaking with the Punjabi salutation 'Sat Sri Akal', is also being disseminated through IVR (Interactive Voice Response) to reach people through the cellular network.

"One year ago Sri Guru Granth Sahib was disrespected in Bargari. People who were behind it have not been caught yet.

After 'jhaadu wali party' (AAP) comes to power we will punish them in a way like no one else so that they dare not repeat it again...disres pect of any religious book won't be tolerated," Kejriwal says.

Mseanwhile, Kejriwal has received death threats on his official e-mail following which Police Commissioner Alok Verma has been approached by the city government to look into the matter.

Sahay has also forwarded the threat emails to the police commissioner, sources said.
