We will also investigate whether someone has sent her or she willfully came here. let the opposition criticised me they are disappointed and helpless before the success of the government" He further said "I can also show many incident of MVA regime when people tried to pour Kerosene on their body and tried to burn themselves. Mantralaya is open for all anyone can come, we cant stop anyone to enter in the Mantralaya due to security reason. Some people jumped on the safety nets in Mantralaya to express their frustration it doesn't mean they are our enemy." He added.
