The women’s wing of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has announced a five-hour Bihar Bandh on September 4. The bandh will run from 7 am to 12 noon on Thursday.
This protest has been called against the use of abusive language directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late mother during a speech made from the RJD and Congress platform in Darbhanga, as part of the Voter Rights Yatra.
BJP Bihar President Dilip Jaiswal strongly condemned the remarks, saying it was not only an insult to PM Modi’s mother but to every mother in the country.
He added that while the bandh will be held, care will be taken to ensure that the public faces minimum inconvenience. Emergency services will remain unaffected.
