On this, Kejriwal soon wrote back a thank you note in Hindi to Union Home Minister for extending his cooperation at the rough hours of Coronavirus pandemic. Taking to his personal Twitter handle, Kejriwal said, "The country's military, doctors, social institutions, the central government and the Delhi government - all are working unitedly for Delhi. I am sure we will all together beat Coronavirus. Thank you for helping the Delhi government and the people of Delhi in these difficult circumstances."
