NDA constituents' women wings call 5-hour Bihar bandh on September 4 to protest 'abuses' against PM Modi

The women's wings of all NDA constituents on Tuesday called for a five-hour bandh in Bihar on September 4 to protest against the alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Congress 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in the state recently.

Addressing a joint press conference by leaders of all NDA constituents here, BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal told reporters, "All NDA leaders strongly condemned the abusive language used against the PM and his mother from the stage of the RJD and the Congress in Darbhanga during the recent 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'. This was not just an insult to Modi's mother but to all mothers. The women wings of the NDA's constituents have decided to call a Bihar bandh on September 4 in protest against the 'abuses' hurled at the PM and his mother."

The bandh will be in effect from 7 am to noon on Thursday, he said, adding that the general public will face minimal inconveniences.

Emergency services will be exempted from the purview of the bandh, he added.
