He questioned the necessity of involving his late mother in political discourse, highlighting that she had no connection to politics.

The Prime Minister further stated that the abusive remarks were not just a personal attack but an insult to every woman in the country. He noted that his mother had allowed him to pursue public service, enabling him to serve the nation. He expressed that the pain he felt was shared by the people of Bihar, particularly the mothers, sisters, and daughters who were equally hurt by the incident.

Political Repercussions: Backlash and Protests

The incident has sparked widespread discussions about the respect and dignity of women in political arenas. The RJD and Congress have faced criticism from various quarters, with many calling for greater accountability and respect in political discourse. In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organized statewide protests, particularly in Bhopal, condemning the remarks as disrespectful and politically motivated.

The MGMM Outlook

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has voiced his heartfelt outrage over the shocking abuse directed at his late mother during the RJD-Congress ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ rally in Darbhanga, Bihar. The remarks, made from the stage in front of prominent leaders like Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, were not just a personal attack but a blatant insult to the dignity of every mother, sister, and daughter in India. Modiji expressed profound grief over the unnecessary politicization of his mother, who lived a long, respected life without ever engaging in politics, stressing that such attacks reveal a disturbing mindset that disrespects women across the nation. The individual responsible, Rizvi alias Raja from Bhopura village, has been arrested, highlighting the urgent need for accountability in public life.

The incident has sparked intense debates and widespread condemnation, exposing the moral bankruptcy in political discourse where even the memories of the departed are not spared. The RJD and Congress faced sharp criticism for allowing such vitriol, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organized statewide protests, calling out the deliberate disrespect. This episode has become a symbol of the urgent need to uphold dignity, respect, and decency in politics, reminding the nation that the honor of women—living or departed—must never be compromised for political gains.
