Roat and Meena take to streets against Madan Dilawar

Jaipur: Banswara MP Rajkumar Roat and his supporters on Saturday protested against Education Minister Madan Dilawar’s suggestion of a DNA test to verify if the tribal leader is the “son of a Hindu”.

Holding their blood samples in their hands, the Bharat Adivasi Party leader along with his supporters started marching towards Dilawar’s residence to mark a protest, but were stopped by the police. He then reached the Amar Jawan Jyoti here where the protestors, including many political leaders such as Congress MLA from Gangapur Ramkesh Meena, raised slogans against Dilawar.

Roat insisted that if his blood sample was not taken there, he would give it to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Parliament. “This matter is not going to be suppressed here. This matter will be raised in the assembly. I will also raise this issue in front of Modi ji in the Parliament,” the MP told reporters.

“If sample is not taken here, then the blood sample will be given to PM Modi in Parliament for a DNA test,” he added.

Police pacified the protestors by collecting the blood samples.
