After a whole night's conversation, after the action-reaction, if such an incident happens in the morning, it means that the administration was not serious, or was working under a rough invisible pressure. In the evening such a list will come that there will be hundreds of people who have suffered minor injuries," he saidBJP has given an ultimatum to the Ashok Gehlot government of 7 pm if FIRs are not registered in the incident."We have given the administration an ultimatum of 7 pm to register FIRs in this incident.
