Let that sink in .
A minister is present in an auction to sell a number plate . This is the level of a minister .
When protesters protest they are absent suddenly.
He could have donated 10 crore to poor families who are unable to get a proper meal in a day. What a pity. We are the only nation (sorry bunch of people) who will make tiktok while purchasing sacrificial animal and then a return that animal to seller and will post the video. We will take selfie in the Masjid al-Haram and post on social media.
