The day I come to fight, then...: Rajasthan Minister Ashok Chandna attack Sachin Pilot after shoes hurled at him

Jaipur, Sept 13: Rajasthan's Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Ashok Chandna slammed former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot over the controversy that took place when shoes were hurled at him in an event where 'Sachin Pilot Zindabad' slogans were raised.

 

 

Earlier, shoes were hurled during an event which was for marking the immersion of the ashes of Gurjar leader Colonel Kirori Singh Bainsla in Rajasthan's Pushkar and thousands of people turned up to pay their last respect in a show of strength by the community. It has been reported that when Chandna came to deliver his speech, people hurled shoes at him, raising 'Sachin Pilot Zindabad' slogans.

 

Following this, a raging Ashok Chandna tweeted, "If Sachin Pilot becomes the Chief Minister by throwing a shoe at me, then he should be made soon because today I do not feel like fighting. The day I come to fight, then only one will be left and I do not want this."

 

 

Further, he added, "Today a wonderful sight was seen- When Rajendra Rathod, (then cabinet member) who ordered the killing of 72 persons came on the stage, was applauded and shoes were thrown at those whose family members went to jail during the 'Gurjar reservation' agitation."

 

 

 

In another tweet, he said, "The family members of the martyrs were sitting on the platform on which the shoes were thrown, at least they should have been taken care of."

 

BJP MP and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, BJP state president Satish Poonia and Congress MLA and Industries Minister Shakuntala Rawat were also present at the immersion event.
