Bettiah (Bihar) [India], August 29 (ANI): Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) founder Mukesh Sahani on Friday questioned the legitimacy of the alleged video showing a man hurling abuses at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during an INDIA bloc rally in Bihar's Darbhanga.
Speaking to ANI, Mukesh Sahani said, "I have heard about it. Who knows if the video is legit or fake, or if BJP workers have gone on stage and said all that?"
He added that if such an incident had happened, it would be "wrong." Denying liability of his party, he stated that the VIP did not share the stage with the other Opposition parties in Darbhanga.
"If this is true, it is wrong; it shouldn't have happened. We did not even share a stage in Darbhanga. We only did a roadshow," he said.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah slammed Congress over alleged abuses hurled at PM Modi during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar.
Addressing a public meeting in Assam's Guwahati, Shah asked Rahul Gandhi to apologise to PM Modi.
"A low level of Rahul Gandhi's negative politics of hatred was seen in his 'Ghuspaithiya Bachao Yatra'. Congress has committed the most condemnable act by using derogatory language against PM Modi's late mother. I condemn it. The politics Rahul Gandhi has begun will take us into a pit... I ask Rahul Gandhi, if there is any shame left, apologise from PM Modi and his late mother," he said.
The row began when an alleged video on the internet showed the accused hurling abusive slurs against PM Modi during an INDIA bloc event.
Darbhanga Police have arrested an accused and registered a case in the matter.
Earlier today, Mukesh Sahani took part in the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar's Bettiah.
"Lakhs of people come out to welcome the Voter Adhikaar Yatra. There was a huge crowd yesterday in Motihari. We are seeing good support. The discrepancies in the voter list must be resolved at the earliest. We have heard that around 9 lakh people have filled Form 6 and filed their claim to vote," he said.
Resumed in Bettiah, the Yatra will move via West Champaran to Siwan via Gopalganj on Friday. (ANI)
