Patna (Bihar) [India], October 8 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday once again brought up the ceasefire between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor and US President Donald Trump's claims of his involvement in it and stated that hopes were shattered after Prime Minister Modi 'agreed on a ceasefire'.

While interacting with the media, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav expressed his hopes in the Indian Army and said, 'We would have been really happy, and we had hopes from our security forces, to get back PoK, but I don't know why the PM agreed on a ceasefire.'

He further said, 'The ceasefire occurred after a single tweet from the US President. The PM is upset at this. The hopes we had from the PM have shattered.'

Earlier, hundreds of RJD workers and supporters from Masaurhi staged a protest at Patna Airport on Tuesday, when Bihar Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav returned to Patna Airport after his visit to Bhagalpur, raising slogans against their own party MLA Rekha Devi and demanding that her ticket be revoked for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.

At the Patna Airport, when Tejashwi Yadav arrived after his visit to Bhagalpur, hundreds of people from Masaurhi gathered there and raised slogans against the sitting RJD MLA Rekha Devi alias Rekha Paswan and shouted, 'Masaurhi ko bachana hai, Rekha ko hatana hai' (To save Masaurhi, remove Rekha).

The supporters demanded that Rekha Devi's ticket for the Masaurhi Assembly seat be withdrawn and that another candidate be given a ticket from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

Several party workers and supporters reached Patna Airport to convey their demands directly to Tejashwi Yadav and protested against their own party MLA.

Earlier, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav condemned the recent attempt to throw a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai, and said that the incident is the 'evil consequence' of normalising hate and violence in the country since 2014.

'A shoe was thrown at the Chief Justice himself in the Supreme Court. This is a shameful incident in our democratic and judicial history. When the person holding the country's highest judicial position has to face such humiliation right in the court, it is a matter of serious concern', Yadav said on Monday in a self-made video posted on X.
