Former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD leader Rabri Devi criticised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for allegedly talking during the national anthem and demanded that Kumar apologise in both houses of the State for the insult.
Devi also said that "mentally unstable" Nitish Kumar should resign from the post of Chief Minister immediately. and should pass on the responsibility to his son, Nishant Kumar. "The national anthem has been insulted. The world is watching, and he (Nitish Kumar) should apologise in both houses. He should tender his resignation and make his son the Chief Minister of Bihar. Legally, this carries a punishment of three years. Action should be taken on this matter, but these people are hiding it," she told ANI. RJD leader Misa Bharti raised questions on his mental and physical health and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah should consider the plight of Bihar. Similarly, RJD leader Mukesh Raushan staged a protest against the Chief Minister in Patna and demanded an apology from him. Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav yesterday shared a video of Nitish Kumar at an event on social media platform X and posted, "At least please do not insult the national anthem, Hon'ble Chief Minister. You insult youth, students, women, and elderly people every day. Sometimes they clap on Mahatma Gandhi's martyrdom day and mock his martyrdom, and sometimes they clap on the national anthem!" He alleged that the Bihar CM was "not mentally or physically stable" and called his condition a matter of great concern for the State."PS: Let me remind you that you are the Chief Minister of a big state. You are not mentally and physically stable even for a few seconds and your being in this position in such an unconscious state is a matter of great concern for the state. Do not insult Bihar like this again and again," he added in a post on X. In the purported video shared by RJD leaders, Nitish Kumar was seen tapping an official on the shoulder, appearing to engage him in conversation. At one point, he was seen smiling and folding his hands in a namaskar toward somebody in the audience. (ANI)
