NEW DELHI: Three people were detained in Bihar for allegedly waiving black flags at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in East Champaran district on Friday, the police said.
"Yes, three persons were caught at the venue of the rally, carrying pieces of black cloth. We will examine the nature of the disruption they might have caused. Further action would take these into account", DIG (Champaran Range) Harkishore Rai told PTI.
The opposition, Rashtriya Janata Dal, shared the video of the rally which showed men clinging to a pole under the canopy and waving black flags in protest.
"At Prime Minister Modi's rally in Motihari, he was shown black flags!For 20 years, the interests of Bihar's youth have been grossly neglected, 80% of young people are unemployed, and they lack sufficient means and resources for income and employment! Despite this, the incompetent government's focus is solely on misleading Bihar's people with false promises to grab power and, in doing so, depriving poor Biharis of their right to vote!" RJD said, sharing the video on X.
According to East Champaran SP Swarn Prabhat, "the trio was trying to draw attention towards the moribund sugar industry in the region".
Town Police Station in-charge Inspector Rajiv Ranjan said the three detainees, Jitendra Tiwari, Vikrant Gautam, and Ravikant Ravi, hail from various areas within the district.

20 साल से बिहार में युवाओं के हितों की भारी अनदेखी हो रही है, 80% युवा बेरोजगार हैं, उनके पास आय और रोजगार के पर्याप्त साधन-संसाधन नहीं हैं!
