The NDA has announced a 5-hour shutdown in Bihar on September 4th, from 7 AM to 12 PM, to protest the derogatory language used against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother, Heeraben. The incident took place during a voter rights campaign led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in Darbhanga. The BJP and its coalition partners have escalated this issue, leading to the shutdown. The women’s wing of the NDA will be actively involved in the protest. Dilip Jaiswal, the Bihar BJP state president, emphasized that the insult was not just to Modi’s mother but to every mother in India. The shutdown aims to cause minimal disruption to the public, with exemptions for essential services, including hospitals, ambulances, and railways. The closure may affect bus and rail services, as well as auto-taxi operations. Furthermore, shops, malls, and other commercial establishments might also remain closed during the shutdown.
