He further alleged that threats were extended to his parents when he declined the offer.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>\u201cNo matter how many offers they make, I will not join BJP,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Escalating his attack on Centre, Dipke said Union home minister <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/amit-shah\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amit Shah<\/a> should resign if allegations that CJP is being funded or operated from abroad are true. \u201cIf CJP is indeed being funded or operated from abroad while Amit Shah is in charge, then he has failed as home minister and should resign,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Referring to the alleged threats, Dipke questioned why senior politicians were targeting him.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cI am of the age of the Prime Minister and Amit Shah\u2019s grandchildren. How many threats will they issue to a 30-year-old?\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Senior BJP functionary and revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, however, dismissed Dipke\u2019s claim. The neta instead appealed to Dipke to identify the member and promised to take instant action against him. \u201cWe have nearly 13 crore members across the country, and he (Dipke) should just identify the person who has threatened him. We will take instant action against the person. If he is unable to identify or name the person, he should then stop maligning our party image,\u201d Bawankule said during an interaction with the media in Thane on Thursday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Dipke also alleged that the police action against student protesters at Jantar Mantar on July 20, in which several demonstrators were injured, could not have taken place without Shah\u2019s approval.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Targeting newly appointed Union education minister Pralhad Joshi, Dipke questioned his \u201cvalues and integrity\u201d and criticised remarks attributed to him regarding the Bilkis Bano case. He also accused BJP of protecting \u201cgoons and rapists\u201d, while referring to cases involving Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Reacting to Yoga guru Baba Ramdev\u2019s reported criticism of Generation Z, Dipke defended young people and said they were fighting for legitimate rights.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>\u201cThese are future voters and future leaders of the country. There is no point trolling Gen Z for their political views. Baba Ramdev should focus on selling his products,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Dipke also said that police personnel should not fear being filmed if they were acting within the law. \u201cThe police belong to the nation, not to any political party. They should function according to the Constitution. If they want to follow BJP\u2019s directions instead, they should remove the khaki uniform and stand guard outside the BJP office,\u201d he alleged.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
