LJP chief and Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan's daughter Asha Paswan on Sunday staged a protest against her own father for calling former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi an 'angootha chhap' (illiterate).
Asha Paswan along with dozens of women carrying posters and banners staged the 'dharna' in front of the Lok Janshakti Party office near the Patna airport.
She wants Ram Vilas Paswan to apologize to Rabri Devi. "My father should take back his words," she said.
A day earlier, Asha Paswan accused her father of insulting Rabri Devi, wife of the now jailed RJD leader Lalu Prasad and a former Chief Minister.
Asha Paswan is daughter of Ram Vilas Paswan from his first wife Raj Kumari Devi. Asha Paswan's husband Anil Sadhu is an RJD leader and consider close to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu Prasad's son.
In an obvious reference to Rabri Devi, Ram Vilas Paswan had said on Friday that RJD believe in merely raising slogans and making 'angootha chhap' (illiterate) the Chief Minister.
