Jaynarayan Mishra was booked under various IPC sections including 354 (outraging the modesty of a woman) for allegedly pushing the cop during a protest
Rejecting the ruling BJD's demand for tendering an apology for allegedly pushing a policewoman during a protest, Leader of the Opposition Jaynarayan Mishra of the BJP on Friday said he was not Mahatma Gandhi that he will offer another cheek after being slapped on one.
Mr Mishra, who turned 60 years on Friday, claimed that he had pushed her in a reflex action as the policewoman, who was wearing a boot, stomped on his foot that has a slipper on.
"I am a victim of police atrocity. I am not Mahatma Gandhi that I will offer another cheek after being slapped on one," he told reporters.
The senior BJP leader was booked under various IPC sections including 354 (outraging the modesty of a woman) for allegedly pushing the cop during a protest in front of the Sambalpur district collector's office on Wednesday.
