I spoke against monarchy, not caste

It is alleged that you are spreading casteism in the House?

What I said in the House was not against any caste. But if someone takes a particular caste, then it is their right. Kings and Maharajas have also been among Jats, Gurjars, Kurmis, Yadavs, Gadarias. I have spoken against all such monarchical systems.

Don't you think I have spoken wrong?

I stand firm on my statement. A demand was raised to remove my statement from the proceedings, but I have opposed it as well. I have put forth my point within the ambit of the Constitution.
