"No one has right to make objectionable remarks against PM": JDU's Neeraj Kumar over "abuses" hurled against PM Modi

Patna (Bihar) [India], August 29 (ANI): JDU leader Neeraj Kumar on Friday condemned alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at the Opposition's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' event in Bihar's Darbhanga, saying that no one has the right to make objectionable remarks.
Speaking to ANI, the JDU leader asked Congress and the RJD to clarify their stance following the incident and further demanded that they take disciplinary action.
"The important issue is what kind of group of political workers is being gathered that uses such derogatory words. Whether in power or in opposition, there may be differences of heart or opinion, but no one has the right to make objectionable remarks against the Prime Minister, Chief Minister, judges, or the head of a political party. The law will take its course, but the Congress party should clarify whether it agrees with such statements. Tejashwi Yadav should make his stance clear on this...Disciplinary action should be taken by the party against this," Kumar said.
Earlier today, Congress leader Sachin Pilot strongly denounced the alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at the Opposition's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' event in Bihar's Darbhanga.

Pilot further stated that the incident had nothing to do with the Congress party, as their Voter Adhikar Yatra had already moved forward.
Speaking to ANI, the Congress leader said, "I condemn this, I denounce it. The Congress party had nothing to do with it, our journey had already moved forward... In civilized and gentle politics, there is no place for such words... Our party is Mahatma Gandhi's party, and we have never supported any such statement till date and nor will we in the future."
A political row has erupted over the alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at the Opposition's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' event in Bihar's Darbhanga, with BJP and NDA leaders targeting the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for the incident.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta condemned the incident, stating that such remarks reflect poor "upbringing" and a lack of respect for "Mother Earth, Mother India, or the word mother."
Speaking to media persons, CM Gupta said, "This behaviour of the opposition leaders is very shameful. Insulting any of our mothers on the land of Sita Maa is not tolerable. The people of the country reject such cheap thinking and cheap politics of speaking ill of the mother of the Prime Minister of the country."
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has also condemned the use of indecent language in an alleged video against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during a political rally, calling it an "extremely unbecoming" incident.
The 16-day 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav aims to raise awareness about alleged irregularities in the voter list, which opposition leaders have termed a case of 'vote chori' (vote theft).
Covering over 1,300 km across 20 districts, the yatra is scheduled to conclude in Patna on September 1.
Bihar Assembly elections are expected later this year, although the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not announced an official date. (ANI)
