NEW DELHI: Strong reactions poured in from supporters of Independent MP from Purnea, Pappu Yadav on Saturday following his arrest by Patna Police in connection with a 1995 forgery case, with many alleging political vendetta and questioning the timing and manner of the action.
Reacting to the arrest, Pappu Yadav’s supporter Nitish Singh said that the MP was targeted whenever he raised issues concerning Bihar.
“Whenever Pappu Yadav speaks about Bihar, about education, unemployment, or justice, this is what happens to him. When he repeatedly raised the NEET aspirant's death issue in Parliament, the government acted against him. This has happened before as well, ” Singh told IANS. He also expressed concern over the MP’s health, adding, “Doctors are saying that his condition is not stable at the moment. Around 8–10 doctors are currently attending to him.”
