RJD's Tej Pratap Yadav Threatens Journalists With FIR Over Poster Row
NDTV
Tej Pratap Yadav's remark came after several posters at RJD headquarters in Patna carried pictures of former chief ministers, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, but not of Tejashwi Yadav.
Amid the controversy over posters and banners of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) not carrying party leader Tejashwi Yadav's photo, elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav came live on his Facebook handle on Monday and angrily threatened to file "FIR, Defamation, and PIL" against journalists highlighting the controversy. Tej Pratap, while challenging the journalists, said, "What is the position of you people? I will file PIL and FIR against all of you having portals. I will call my lawyer and file an FIR, defamation, and PIL against everyone. The sold media of Bihar should listen that I will file a case of defamation against you, I will do what I say." While slamming the media, Tej Pratap Yadav took the names of many journalists, who according to him were involved in malicious propaganda against him, and threatened them with FIR, Public Interest Litigation (PIL)s, and defamation cases. He asked whether the media created a ruckus when Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi, Misa Bharti, and his photo were missing from the poster at the time of the election.
