"It Was A Betrayal": Chirag Paswan On Delhi Bungalow Eviction
NDTV
Images from the eviction showed the Paswan family's belongings in big piles by the road and photos of Ram Vilas Paswan kept on them.
Chirag Paswan, evicted last week from the government bungalow allotted to his father, Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, said he felt "cheated" at the way his family was thrown out and humiliated.
"Dhokha hua hai (It was a betrayal)," Chirag Paswan told NDTV. The Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) MP said he had been prepared to vacate the 12, Janpath bungalow as his family was no longer entitled to it after Ram Vilas Paswan's death.
"Something that belongs to the government cannot be permanent and we would never think of claiming it. I was lucky to stay here for so many years. My father played a long innings here...this house was practically the birthplace of the social justice movement," Chirag Paswan said.
"During the lockdown, my father used to see the migrants on the road from that house and worry about them. He called the Prime Minister to express his concern."
