NEW DELHI: Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia today offered to quit the Lok Sabha if allegations by some BJP MPs that he was against Dalits were proved and also demanded a public apology from them.
Scindia threw the challenge in the Lok Sabha and asked the MPs who had made certain remarks against him, to either prove their charges or quit the House.
He raised the issue when the House assembled after the swearing-in ceremony of the new President K N Kovind, saying that BJP MPs Veerendra Kumar, Manohar Utwal and Nand Kumar Chauhan had levelled certain “baseless allegations” against him that pertained to the Dalit community.
Scindia said if their allegations are found to be true, then he would quit as the member of the House and demanded that if the BJP MPs failed to prove their allegation, then they should tender their resignation. They should also tender a public apology, he said. (AGENCIES)
