Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and wrote: "The people of Punjab will never allow those intending to disturb the peace of Punjab, succeed. 3 crore people of Punjab are united, the entire brotherhood is together. I joined the people in the 'Shanti Yatra' in Patiala".

जो लोग पंजाब की शांति भंग करना चाहते हैं उनके मंसूबे पंजाब की जनता कभी कामयाब नहीं होने देगी। पंजाब के 3 करोड़ लोग एकजुट हैं, पूरा भाईचारा एक साथ है।
