Bhopal | Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) legislator Uma Devi Kathik on Tuesday apologised for his son’s threat to Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia and clarified that the party is not associated with such incident. She further added that his son should be jailed for his actions.
Speaking to media about the incident the BJP legislator said, “This is no way to behave. He will have to go to jail. I myself brought him to the police station. My party has nothing to do with this.”
Earlier the BJP legislator son Princedeep Lalchand Khatik in a Facebook post threathening Scindia ahead of his rally in Hatta town of Damoh district on September 5 wrote,”Jyotiraditya Scindia, you have Jiwajirao’s blood running in your veins, who killed Jhansi ki Rani. If you step in Hatta then I will shoot you. Either you will die or I will.”
Responding to the threat Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia said, “BJP’s true face and mentality can be ascertained from this. Shivraj Chouhan and BJP want to get rid off Congress at any cost. Scindia family has never succumbed to pressure. They have talked about harming me earlier too, they can do what they want to, Jyotiraditya Scindia won’t be afraid, won’t back down.”
Assembly elections will be in the state of Madhya Pradesh along with Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh later this year.
