Bihar Man Arrested for Abusive Remarks Against PM Modi, Mother at Rahul Gandhi’s Rally
Patna, Bihar – August 29, 2025: A man was taken into custody in Bihar on Thursday after allegedly hurling abusive remarks at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his mother during Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s rally in the state.
According to police officials, the incident occurred while Gandhi was addressing a public gathering as part of his campaign tour. The accused, whose identity has not been officially disclosed, reportedly used derogatory language against the Prime Minister and his family, prompting an immediate reaction from the crowd and law enforcement personnel present at the venue.
The man was detained by local police for disrupting the event and booked under sections related to promoting enmity and use of offensive language against public figures. Authorities stated that an investigation is underway to determine whether the act was spontaneous or politically motivated.
Senior Congress leaders at the rally distanced themselves from the incident, maintaining that the party does not endorse abusive language in political discourse. “We strongly believe in respectful debate. Individuals who indulge in derogatory remarks should face legal consequences,” a party spokesperson said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) condemned the episode, accusing Congress of fostering a culture of disrespect towards the Prime Minister. “This is an insult to democratic values and the dignity of the office of the Prime Minister,” a state BJP leader said.
The arrest has reignited the debate over political rhetoric in Bihar, a state that has frequently witnessed heated exchanges between rival parties. Police have confirmed that the accused remains in custody and further legal proceedings will follow.
