Chouhan's statement comes a day after people belonging to upper caste group reportedly staged a protest outside his house against Parliament's decision to overturn a March 20 Supreme Court ruling that barred immediate arrests in cases registered under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
On August 9, Parliament passed the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Bill, 2018, nullifying the apex court's ruling. (ANI)
