He said, "Whoever does it, this country has democracy. It guarantees business freedom. People can run their own businesses. Lawyers can practice law, doctors can work as doctors, and businessmen can conduct business. Anyone who creates obstacles, disruptions, chaos, or acts against the law will face punishment. Regarding the incident with Dinesh Tripathi, it is highly condemnable. It is an extremely wrong act. Whoever acts against democratic spirit, regardless of their political affiliation, will be held accountable."
