A day after being sacked as a minister following his critical remarks against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot-led Rajasthan government over recent incidents of crimes against women in the state, Rajendra Singh Gudha on July 22 said that he is ready to pay any price to keep his promise of protecting the weak. “I will speak the truth until the day I die. I had promised the weak protection, and I am ready to pay any cost to keep that promise. We are unable to protect the women in our state,” he said while speaking to media persons. Addressing the speculation surrounding his meeting with All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen President Asaduddin Owaisi, he said, “Asaduddin Owaisi is the best parliamentarian in India. What is the issue in meeting an elected MLA? I did not meet a terrorist.”
