Saurav Das responded by questioning Ranaut's seriousness as a parliamentarian, noting that even her own party members do not take her seriously.
He remarked that her comments did not seem to come from a mentally stable person and accused her of trying to capitalize on the student movement.
Das praised Gen Z for reigniting faith in democracy and said they have done more for the country than Ranaut.
