Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA Arun Yadav’s recent comment on the late actor Sushant Singh has sparked controversy and several criticized the lawmaker. The RJD MLA had said that actor Sushant is not a Rajput as those belonging to the Maharana Pratap dynasty do not die by suicide.
Yadav’s comment came on Wednesday during the unveiling of a newly built road in Bihar’s Saharsa district, the constituency of the RJD MLA assembly. The comment has drawn criticism across the country and many have asked Yadav to apologize for his comment against the late actor.
Bihar is currently preparing for the assembly elections, and since the late actor originally belongs to Bihar, his death has become a political issue.
Criticizing Yadav’s comment as “strange and embarrassing”, JD (U) spokesman Rajiv Ranjan Prasad asked the MLA to apologize to fans of Bihar and Sushant.
“There can be no stranger and more embarrassing statement than the RJD MLA on the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, which has shocked the entire nation. The MLA should apologize to the people of the state and the supporters of Sushant, ”JD (U) spokesman Rajiv Ranjan Prasad was quoted as saying by PTI.
Bharatiya Janata Party spokesman Nikhil Anand condemned RJD MLA Arun Yadav’s comment, calling it “nonsense and a caste mentality.” He also criticized the Rashtriya Janata Dal party, calling its leaders and workers “habitual criminals”.
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput died on June 14 at his Mumbai residence. Mumbai police had declared it a case of death by suicide. However, Sushant Singh Rajput’s father KK Singh registered an FIR in Patna in the sections related to complicity in suicide and then demanded an investigation from CBI.
With a conflict between the government of Maharashtra and Bihar, the Supreme Court on August 19 ordered the central agency to investigate the case while holding that the FIR (first information report) registered in Patna on the death of the actor was legitimate.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is currently investigating the actor’s death case.
