Tejashwi Yadav Takes a Jibe at Sushil Modi For His ‘Appeal’ to Criminals

Sushil Modi requested criminals to refrain from indulging in illegal activities.

New Delhi: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday took a jibe at Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi over his appeal to criminals for giving up anti-social activities. Taking it to the micro-blogging site, Twitter, Yadav wrote, “No need to be surprised even if the infamous pair falls at the feet of criminals….after all, criminals have more AK 47 rifles than the Bihar police.”

His comments a day after Sushil Modi had requested criminals not to indulge in the illegal activities during the ongoing period of Pitri Paksh. News agency ANI released a video in which he was seen saying, “I urge criminals with the folded hands to give up their anti-social activities during this period. You go on doing as you wish at other times and keep the police on their toes, but during these 15-16 days of religious festivities, do not indulge in any activity that tarnishes the image of Bihar, brings a bad name to the holy town of Gaya and gives the visitors a reason to complain.”

मैं अपराधियों से निवेदन करता हूँ कि पितृपक्ष के दिनों मे कोई वारदात ना करें:-सुशील मोदी, उपमुख्यमंत्री,बिहार

ख़ुलासा और दिलासा मास्टर की कुख्यात जोड़ी डर के मारे कुछ दिनो में अपराधियो के पैर भी पकड़े तो अचम्भित नहीं होना।

क्योंकि बिहार पुलिस से ज़्यादा AK-47 अपराधियों के पास है
