She also said that his statement and written statement don’t match, and he hasn’t given a proper reply. I’ve told Police too that action should be taken against him because he was creating an atmosphere to impact the law and order situation. His supporters attempted to enter NCW office forcefully. “I had an important meeting at 2 pm which is now delayed as I couldn’t step outside. If 100-150 people come and threaten me, what kind of a leader are they? He was supposed to come to NCW office and only answer a few questions. Why did he have to lie and bring so many lawyers?” she added.

Gopal Italia claimed that the NCW chief is threatening to put him in jail, He also said that the BJP hates the Patidar community. “What can the Modi government give to the Patel community other than jail. BJP hates Patidar community. I am a descendant of Sardar Patel. I am not afraid of your prisons. Put me in jail,” he tweeted.

. @NCWIndia चीफ़ मुझे जेल में डालने की धमकी दे रही है। मोदी सरकार पटेल समाज को जेल के सिवा दे ही क्या सकती है। बीजेपी पाटीदार समाज से नफ़रत करती है। मैं सरदार पटेल का वंशज हूँ। तुम्हारी जेलों से नहीं डरता। डाल दो मुझे जेल में। इन्होंने पुलिस को भी बुला लिया है। मुजे धमका रहे है।

In a notice issued to Italia, it was stated that the indecent word used by him was also an insult to women of our country. Condemning the AAP leader’s gender-biased and misogynistic language, NCW summoned him to a hearing on 13 October, and also warned him that it may proceed to take action as it deems fit if Italia ignores the summons. Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sambit Patra slammed Italia over his remark. “Calling the Prime Minister a lowly person is against the democratic rules of the country; it is an insult to the country. Be it any caste, or any religion, no person can be lowly,” Patra said at a press conference. “An OBC Prime Minister who comes from a backward class, who comes from a poor and ordinary family, repeatedly calling him lowly, what is this abuse? Does the Aam Aadmi Party want to call the backwards-class people low? Anyone who rises from an ordinary poor family and becomes the Prime Minister is not lowly in the democratic process. No, it is against democratic values,” he added. “The Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal are the people who said that they have come to change the character of India. If the democratically elected influential and hardworking Prime Minister is called lowly, and he is calling the PM lowly in that video, not once, but somewhere it shows the mentality of the Aam Aadmi Party,” he stated.
