SC halts mosque survey orders, restricts lower courts in pending cases
In response to Union Defense Minister, Rajnath Singh's criticism, RJD leader and former Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi YadavTejashwi Yadav stated, "I respect Rajnath Singh. If he will not say such things (on the video of Tejashwi Yadav eating fish), then how will PM Modi be happy with him. People talk to please him, and never on prevalant issues. Through Agniveer scheme many youths were hurt, he doesn't talk about that."
Yadav also commented on LJP chief Chirag Paswan's statement about the NDA winning all 40 seats in Bihar, stating that "the outcome will become clearer in due time."
The RJD leader's remarks were made following Union Minister Rajnath Singh's comments on the video showing Tejashwi Yadav eating fish during Navratri, a period of fasting for many Hindus, and later posting it on social media. Singh remarked, "Eat whatever you want, fish, pig, pigeon, elephant, or horse. What is the need to show? This is only for votes, for appeasement politics."
