“Mother is our world. Mother is our self-respect. I had not even imagined what happened a few days ago in this tradition-rich Bihar. My mother was abused from the stage of RJD-Congress in Bihar,” said PM Modi, appearing visibly emotional.
PM Modi, with a cracking voice, said the language used was an insult to all mothers and daughters of Bihar.
“My mother separated me from her so that I could serve crores of mothers like you. You all know that now my mother is not alive. Some time ago, after completing 100 years of age, she left us all. That mother of mine, who has nothing to do with politics, who is no more, was abused from the stage of the RJD, Congress,”
Addressing over 20 lakh women through video conferencing, he added, “These abuses are not just an insult to my mother. These are insults to the mothers, sisters and daughters of the country. I know… how bad all of you, every mother of Bihar, felt after seeing and hearing this! I know, as much pain as I have in my heart, the people of Bihar are also in the same pain.”
Invoking the struggles and dignity of mothers, PM Modi said, “A poor mother, through her struggles, provides education and values to her children, instilling noble virtues. That is why a mother’s place is considered even higher than that of gods and goddesses.”
The row erupted during Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Vote Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar’s Darbhanga, after a viral video surfaced showing a man hurling Hindi abuse at PM Modi’s mother from the Congress-RJD stage.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Rizvi alias Raza (20), was later arrested from the Singhwara area of Darbhanga town.
