Kejriwal, speaking in punjabi, promises that after his government is formed in Punjab he will catch and make an example out of those involved in sacrilege.

"Sat Shri Akal, I am Arvind Kejriwal speaking, one year back in Bargadhi Guru Granth Sahib ji was insulted, till now those who did it have not been caught yet... our government will catch them and will punish them in such a way that no one will ever dare to do that," Kejriwal said in a 41 second audio.
