The LJP leader responds, “I don’t,” to the abuse spoken at Chirag Paswan’s mother during Tejashwi Yadav’s rally

After footage of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) members abusing the mother of Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan, Veena Paswan, went viral on social media on Thursday, the political climate in Bihar heated up. The event happened at a rally in Jamui seat for former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was reportedly there when the crowd began yelling insults at Chirag Paswan’s mother in photos that went popular on social media.

Chirag Paswan called a press conference shortly after seeing the viral footage and voiced his severe condemnation of the incident that happened in front of the former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar. Chirag Paswan attacked Tejashwi, saying, “There is no difference between his mother and my mother for me,” after expressing his anguish over the offensive film that targeted his mother.

Had I been at his place, I would have responded. No family man would, in my opinion, put up with this abuse. Women make up half of our population, therefore I think it’s time we started treating them with respect,” he continued.

Notably, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Chirag Paswan won the seat for Jamui. But this time, he declared his brother-in-law Arun Bharti’s candidacy for the position.

“I don’t know who is saying what or where.” I heard nothing while I was speaking. It was a sizable gathering. According to a remark from Tejashwi Yadav, “These people have made their video and have posted on social media.”

Attacks by the BJP J.D.

“RJD is irritated as they are losing the election,” claimed BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain in response to the widely shared video that showed insults directed at the mother of LJP Chief Chirag Paswan. They’re mistreating people now. In front of Tejashwi Yadav and other RJD leaders, Chirag Paswan’s mother was mistreated. No one halted. In Bihar, it’s never happened. That is not appropriate.
