Speaking to ANI, Anwar expressed grave concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar, specifically pointing to the recent, brutal gang-rape case in Begusarai. "The horrific incident in Begusarai is a stinging indictment of the current administration's failure to ensure the safety of women. Instead of prioritising the security of citizens, the government remains entangled in political theatrics and power games," Anwar remarked.

Accuses BJP of political interference

The Congress leader further slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his recent remarks regarding the Shiv Sena. Anwar accused the BJP of actively working to destabilise opposition political equations through orchestrated interference. "The Home Minister's commentary on the Shiv Sena is a clear signal of the BJP's strategy to manipulate political landscapes to suit their electoral agenda. It undermines the democratic spirit and sets a troubling precedent for national politics," he asserted.
