Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta recently made a powerful plea, asking the public to unite against the alleged abuses directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother. This isn’t just about politics; it’s about the very fabric of our society.
Speaking at the ISKCON Creators Summit 2025, CM Gupta highlighted a crucial point: not all battles are fought on the border. Some, she stressed, must be waged against the evil that permeates our communities. It’s a profound thought that resonates deeply.
When the late mother of a nation’s leader is subjected to abuse at a political rally, shouldn’t we all take a stand? Shouldn’t we respond to such unacceptable behavior? CM Gupta’s words challenge us to reflect on our collective responsibility.
Herdirected a pointed question at the Opposition parties. Has politics truly sunk to a level where individuals compromise dignity for personal gain? Where abusing someone’s late mother becomes an acceptable strategy? This isn’t just a rhetorical question; it’s a call to honest introspection.
“Has politics stooped to such an extent that for our own interest, for our own profit, we can even abuse someone’s late mother?” she asked. “Shouldn’t we raise our voice? When we see any evil in society, when something wrong is happening or is seen somewhere, then who has the responsibility to say something?” Her queries demand an answer from all of us.
Adding to the chorus of condemnation, former Union Minister Smriti Irani also criticized the Opposition for what she termed derogatory remarks aimed at PM Modi and his late mother during a public meeting in Bihar.
Smriti Irani emphasized that such alleged remarks outrage the entire country. She highlighted that PM Modi’s mother had no involvement in politics and endured a life of poverty. This perspective brings a deeply human element to the political discourse.
In a video message previously, the BJP leader conveyed her sentiments: “The insult of PM Modi’s late mother by opposition leaders on a political platform in Bihar is something that outrages the entire country. That mother had no connection with politics, that mother who struggled in poverty for her family to protect them, that mother who is no longer among us—insulting such a mother causes pain to us all.”
She expressed confidence that the women of the country and Bihar would deliver a fitting response to the opposition for this insult. It’s a powerful statement about the resilience and moral compass of the populace.
The controversy began with an alleged video showing a man uttering abusive remarks against PM Modi during an Opposition public meeting in Bihar. This single event sparked a significant national discussion.
In response, PM Modi himself took an indirect jab at INDIA bloc leaders Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, labeling them as ‘naamdaars.’ He suggested that these individuals, born with a silver spoon, could not genuinely comprehend the struggles of poor mothers or the suffering and pain experienced by their children. For them, power, he implied, is merely an inheritance.
Referring to alleged derogatory remarks made during the Voter Adhikar Yatra, PM Modi stated: “The struggles (Tapasya) of a poor mother, the suffering of her son—these young princes born into royal families cannot understand. These naamdaar people were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. The power of the country and Bihar seems like an inheritance of their family to them.” These words underline a perceived disconnect between different segments of society.
Such an ongoing debate brings into sharp focus the need to recognize and combat evil in society. It highlights the importance of maintaining decorum, even in the heated world of politics. The call to stand up against **evil** in particularly resonates. It’s a reminder that fundamental respect should always prevail. We must confront **evil** in society when it arises. The battle against **evil** in our communities is an ongoing one. Let’s remember to challenge **evil** whenever it appears. Our society should never normalise this kind of **evil**.
