Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed deep pain over abuses hurled at his mother during Congress’ recently concluded ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar. According to PTI, he said while he may forgive the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress, the people of the state would never do so.

In his first reaction to the controversy surrounding the incident in Darbhanga, PM Modi took a dig at Opposition parties, stating that expletives against his mother are nothing for those who insult ‘Mother India’ and called for such acts to be punished.

“My late mother had nothing to do with politics, so what was her fault; why was she abused?” he questioned.
