According to details, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister named Kusum Medhele from Madhya Pradesh kicked the beggar, who asked the woman for Re.1, when she was attending the function.
Her guards also started to thrash the child.
Opposition parties and human rights activists lashed out the minister over the act and demanded her resignation.
An activist from Child Rights and You (CRY) stated that Medhele committed an inhuman act instead of helping the child.
