NEW DELHI: Party workers of Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress clashed in Patna on Friday as the saffron party staged a protest against alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his mother during a rally at Darbhanga.In a video shared by news agency ANI, party workers were seen attacking each other with party flags.

BJP MLA Nitin Nabin said, “Every son of Bihar will give a befitting reply to Congress for insulting a mother. We will take revenge for this.”Union home minister Amit Shah also doubled down on Rahul Gandhi and demanded an apology for the alleged incident.“I would urge Rahul Gandhi that if there is even a little shame left, he must apologise to Modi ji, his late mother, and the people of the country,” Shah said.This comes after a video of some men allegedly hurling abuses at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his mother from the venue of Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Bihar went viral.The video, shared on social media by several accounts, showed unidentified individuals using Hindi slurs against PM Modi from a dais of Rahul Gandhi’s rally. The Congress leader is holding a ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar along with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.Union home minister Amit Shah condemned the Congress’ purported video and said that under Rahul Gandhi, the oldest party’s politics has reached its lowest level.He further said that this “abusive” rally shows that the Congress party has returned to its old ways and character, through which it has always poisoned the country’s political culture.Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar also condemned the incident and termed it deplorable.“During the Voter Adhikar Yatra in Darbhanga, the use of highly inappropriate language against the Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and his late mother from the platform of Congress and RJD is utterly deplorable, and I condemn it,” Nitish wrote on X.After the video went viral, former Indian Youth Congress National Secretary, Mohd Naushad apologised for the remarks and said that the party would never stoop to such cheap and disgraceful behavior.He also said that he condemned such remarks made against the Prime Minister but suggested that it is possible that this was done by the opposition or people with “vested interests.”
