3. “Why is this happening? Because we have been silent for long. What did my brother say? He went to PM Modi and hugged him. He said there is no hatred despite ideological differences.”
4. “You call us 'parivarvadi'. Then who was Lord Ram? Were Lord Ram, and Pandavas ‘parivarvadi’ that they stood up for their families? Should we then feel ashamed that our family sacrificed their blood for the country?”
5. "My brother studied in the two most prestigious educational institutes of the world. You did not see his degree, but made him Pappu with the help of the media. Then you found out that he is not a Pappu and lakhs of people are walking with him."
6. "Do you know the man who brought the case against my brother put a stay on his own case last year? And when did the case reopen? After Rahul Gandhi's speech on Adani."
