New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday reacted to the killings in Udaipur and Amravati saying that instead of pointing fingers governments and people should work together to normalise the situation that has led to such instances, reported news agency PTI. Speaking in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad, the Delhi CM said that whatever was happening in the country at present was not good and that he condemned it in the strongest way possible.

"The country cannot progress like this. There needs to be peace in the country, everybody should stay together. I have condemned it in strong words, and I condemn it again and hope the accused are arrested at the earliest and given exemplary punishment so that others dare not commit such an act," he said.

Responding to a question about who he felt was responsible for the these murders, the AAP chief said, "Finger pointing won't do.
