The protest is against the "senseless and illegitimate remarks" made by Ashutosh with regard to the father of the nation, former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, socialist stalwart Ram Manohar Lohia, among others, said Delhi Youth Congress president Amit Malik.
"Ashutosh cannot repent his grave mistake by over-reacting and seeking cover under the garb of freedom of expression, rather he should pay a visit to Rajghat and seek forgiveness from that great person who sacrificed his life for this country," Malik said.
The protesters distributed autobiographies of Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru at AAP office as a symbolic protest against Ashutosh's remarks in a controversial blog in which he supported expelled party MLA Sandeep Kumar, who has been arrested on rape charge, drawing parallels with Gandhi and Nehru, among others.
