Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned emotional after opposition leaders allegedly insulted his late mother during a rally in Bihar. He said such remarks were not just against his mother but an insult to every mother and sister in India.
Modi, speaking through video conferencing at the launch of Jeevika Bank in Bihar, stressed that the state has always treated mothers as divine. He recalled how rivers like Ganga, Kosi, Gandak, and Punpun are worshipped as “Maiya.” He added that insulting mothers reflects a disgraceful mindset that cannot be forgiven.
The controversy began in Darbhanga, Bihar, during the Grand Alliance’s Voter Adhikar Yatra, where derogatory comments were reportedly made. Modi said the remarks deeply hurt not only him but also the people of Bihar. He demanded Congress and RJD apologize to Chhathi Maiya and the seven sisters worshipped during Navratra.
Modi urged people to respond strongly. He declared, “We will not tolerate insults to mothers. We will not accept RJD’s atrocities, Congress’s attacks, or disrespect to our mothers.”
