Wagh, who heads the state BJP women's wing, made the comments on Sunday at a programme organised here by local party leader Hemant Rasne which was also attended by Patil
Patil, the Higher and Technical Education Minister who is an MLA from Pune, had kicked up a row by commenting that B R Ambedkar and Jyotiba Phule didn't seek government grants for running educational institutions, but they begged people to gather funds for starting schools and colleges.
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday said the police are expected to uphold law before taking drastic steps of arrest and reserved its order on a plea by a political activist, claiming to be associated with the Congress, seeking the FIR against him by the Pune police be quashed.
Last month, ink was thrown at Patil during an event in Pimpri town of Pune district in an apparent protest against his controversial remark about Dr B R Ambedkar and social reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule.
