When asked whether the BJP leaders crossed a line with their speeches in Delhi, BJP leader Alok Vats says, "I don't think what Parvesh Verma said is inflammatory, it was just a boycott appeal. But in the case of Nand Kishore Gurjar, he crossed a line." He further said that what the BJP lawmaker said is a very "mellowed-down" version of what some Muslim leaders have said in the past.
