"I feel the Opposition should not do politics over somebody's death. Our efforts should be directed to ensure that the accused are caught as soon as possible. The police are doing their work. We understand the seriousness of it...STF has already begun investigation. Strict action will be taken against the accused. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal doesn't refrain from doing politics during such situations. I am not aware of any demand for security for him (Nafe Singh Rathee)," he said.

Further, hitting out at the Congress leader Randeep Surjewala, Jawahar Yadav said that nobody takes him seriously in Haryana. "Nobody takes Randeep Surjewala seriously in Haryana. All that he does is make statements. Those responsible for this murder will not be spared. The police are doing their work. I don't wish to count the number of murders that happened during Deepender Hooda or Randeep Surjewala's time. I simply want to assure that the accused will be arrested and punished," he asserted. Nafe Singh Rathee Shot Dead: ‘Instructed Officials To Take Immediate Action, STF Also Looking Into It’, Says Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij on State INLD Chief Murder (Watch Video).
