Senior RJD leader Shivananad Tiwari has voiced strong criticism over the recent arrest of MP Pappu Yadav through social media posts. Tiwari described Pappu Yadav as a 'unique and distinctive personality' in Bihar's political landscape, arguing that his sudden arrest raises significant questions regarding the functioning of the justice system. Yadav is noted for his achievements as an independent candidate, having won elections three times, with a total of six Lok Sabha victories under his belt, beginning his political journey as an independent candidate in state assembly elections.

Tiwari further emphasized Pappu Yadav's extraordinary activism, highlighting his constant presence among the public. He mentioned that Yadav was known for being active in various areas at different times of the day, regularly engaging with the community. The leader also recalled how Yadav was proactive during the COVID-19 pandemic, contrasting with the government's reluctance to disclose true mortality figures, showing Yadav’s commitment to public service and accountability.

The implications of Yadav's arrest and the RJD's support could have far-reaching effects on Bihar's political landscape, especially as political leaders grapple with the intersection of justice and political maneuvering. The episode may reflect broader concerns about the treatment of politicians in India and raise important discussions about the integrity of democratic processes and institutions in the country as they continue to evolve.
