Suman acknowledged the backlash his comments have elicited but stressed that ideological differences are inherent in democracy. He cited luminaries like Gandhi and Lohia, asserting that any political strategy moving forward will remain rooted in non-violence.

Further developments are anticipated with the visit of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on April 19, where a future course of action may be determined.

The controversy sparked violence outside Suman's Agra residence, escalating tensions.
