The political mercury in Bihar rose on Thursday after videos of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) workers abusing Lok Janshakti Party president Chirag Paswan’s mother Veena Paswan went viral on social media. The incident occurred during former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav’s rally in Jamui constituency.
As per the visuals going viral on social media, the crowd was seen hurling abuses at Chirag Paswan’s mother in the presence of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.
Soon after the viral video came to the notice of Chirag Paswan, he held a press conference and strongly condemned the incident that took place in front of Bihar’s former Deputy Chief Minister. Expressing sadness over the abusive video targetting his mother, Chirag Paswan attacked Tejashwi and said, “There is no difference between his mother and my mother for me.”
“If I was at his place, I would have given an answer. I don’t think any family man would take this abuse. Women comprise of half of our population and I believe that it’s high-time now, we should start respecting them,” he added.
Notably, Chirag Paswan was elected from the Jamui Lok Sabha seat in 2019 Lok Sabha polls. However, this time he announced the candidature of his brother-in-law Arun Bharti from the seat.
