Jitan Ram seeks probe into Ram Vilas Paswan's death

An NDA ally in Bihar,Jitan Ram Manjhi has targeted Chirag Paswan with questions over the death of his father, taking the issue to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Ram Vilas Paswan, who died on October 8 after a long illness, was a minister in PM Modi's cabinet. In a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr Manjhi called for a judicial investigation into Paswan Senior's death and questioned the conduct of Chirag Paswan.

"The nation is in shock due to Ram Vilas Paswan's death but LJP chief Chirag Paswan was seen smiling during shooting videos the day after the last rites. He was talking about the shooting, due to which several questions are being raised by some section of Ram Vilas's admirers and relatives, Manjhi said and added why the hospital where Ram Vilas Paswan was admitted, did not release medical bulletins? 

In his response Chirag said that why didn't he show so much concern about him (Ram Vilas Paswan) when he was hospitalised? Everyone is playing politics over a dead person now, why no one bothered to visit him when he was alive?" "Those who're talking such things about a son should be ashamed of themselves," he added.
