His party has insulted Babasaheb for the last 60 years… Today, democracy has been attacked and an Adivasi girl has been insulted. An apology must be sought, and if he morality, he must resign,” he said. said.

After climbing, he pushed Pratap Sarangi ji, Santosh Pandey ji who was next to us. Mukesh Rajput ji was pushed and everyone who was there was pushed,” he said.

He (Rahul Gandhi) knew that a peaceful protest was taking place, but he deliberately and maliciously pushed and crossed the middle of all our MPs. Two of our colleagues were seriously threatened and deeply hurt, he should also apologize for the shameful attitude he adopted with our Nagaland MP Phangnon Konyak,” Bansuri Swaraj said.
