In a video of the alleged incident that was widely shared on social media, locals were purportedly seen gathering around a vehicle, trying to stop the NIA team from taking the suspect along with them.
"We thought that he would realise his mistake. But even after a day, there have been no efforts to rectify the statement,” rued the BJP leader.
Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said that Sandeskhali incident is a shame on our society and democracy.
Prasad attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the liquor scam and alleged he was responsible for the entry of the South lobby in the alcohol trade in the city.
The BJP leader said, “Udhayanidhi Stalin made a shameless comment, comparing Sanatana with Dengue, Malaria and Corona.”
In its campaign for the assembly polls in the national capital, the BJP has often raised the issue of the AAP government so far not grating the Delhi Police its nod to prosecute the accused in the case of raising seditious slogans in the Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2016, and Rahul Gandhi of siding with the (then) JNU students.
Talking about youngsters protesting against the act, Prasad said the government will talk to them to clear their confusion.
While non-BJP chief ministers like Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal accuse their governors of political interference, dissent is not just from the opposition as States like Maharashtra and Gujarat had opposed unilateral changes made to the Motor Vehicles Act imposing steep fines for traffic offences.
Taking exception to the remarks made by Union Law and Justice Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Singh expressed concern that the CAA can be easily misused for infiltrating into the country, particularly in border states like Punjab.
On Wednesday again, the Union Law minister stressed that there is a constitutional obligation on every state to exercise the executive power in such a way that ensures compliance with laws made by Parliament.
