Reacting to the case filed against him, Jitendra Patwari said he would continue to raise his voice for the oppressed. "The opposition should fulfil its responsibility when there are atrocities on the farmers, Dalits and the government should take it positively and take action. The government, on the contrary, commits a sin which is not its duty," he told news agency ANI. (With ANI inputs)
