A college hostel in Bihar has found itself at the center of controversy after a plaque commemorating the inauguration by former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan was discovered being used as a drain cover. The stone slab, which paid homage to the late politician, was installed during the inauguration of the residence in 2007. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for an investigation.
Chirag Paswan, the son of the late Ram Vilas Paswan and currently a member of the Narendra Modi-led Cabinet, has expressed his strong disapproval of the incident. He took to social media, stating that he had contacted the local district administration and officials of the CIPET institute to take immediate action. He demanded that the nameplate be re-installed at a respectable place and that such incidents should not be repeated. Paswan emphasized his intolerance towards any insult to his leader and vowed to take action against those found guilty.
The incident has raised concerns about the lack of respect shown towards a prominent figure and the misuse of a commemorative plaque. It has also highlighted the need for accountability and proper management of public institutions. The local authorities have been instructed to investigate the matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against those responsible for the disrespectful treatment of the plaque.
