00:47or mentally to be leading Bihar.
00:52The manner in which Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has insulted the national anthem not
00:57once but twice yesterday at an event in Patna has snowballed into a massive, massive controversy
01:05in the Bihar Legislative Assembly and right now we are showing you pictures here of the
01:11Bihar Legislative Assembly where you can see former Chief Minister Rabri Devi is sitting
01:18on a dharna along with other RJD MLCs and demanding action against Nitish Kumar and
01:24what RJD MLCs are claiming and also the party is claiming that what Nitish Kumar has done
01:31is absolutely anti-national activity and he has insulted the national anthem and for insulting
01:38the national anthem there is a provision of three year jail term and also Tejasvi Yadav
01:43has also hit out at Nitish Kumar for insulting the national anthem twice and has questioned
01:52BJP over the issue of nationalism because BJP most of the time speaks on the issue
01:58of nationalism and being nationalist.
03:52Is Nitish Kumar there now?
03:54No, he is not there.
03:56Do you think you should apologize?
03:58Yes, I should apologize in both the houses.
04:00Respected Nitish Kumar ji, when the national anthem was being sung, I could not see the
04:07mental and physical condition of Nitish Kumar ji being healthy from anywhere.
04:14Through you, I would like to apologize to the Prime Minister of this country, Narendra
04:20Modi ji and the Home Minister of this country, Amit Shah ji.
04:24Did you find the mental and physical condition of Nitish Kumar ji during the national anthem
04:32to be healthy?
04:34Yesterday, we got one more proof of Nitish Kumar ji's mental and physical condition.
04:40There can be no bigger unfortunate situation than this.
04:44The way Nitish Kumar ji has insulted the national anthem in the opening ceremony of
04:51a sports festival in Patna, is he not worthy of being the Chief Minister even for a second?
05:00Respect the national anthem.
05:04Respect the national anthem and respect the freedom of the country.
05:09This national anthem and our national flag, the Tranga Jhanda,
05:16we did not get this Tranga Jhanda in the market.
05:21It was bought from the market.
05:25After the sacrifice of lakhs and lakhs of people, we have got the national flag.
05:33And this is our national anthem.
