Political opponents hatching conspiracy to blow me up with bomb, alleges Chirag Paswan at Bihar rally
However, he claimed that such attempts of detractors would not desist him from his political objective.
'Sher ka beta hun. Isase darne wala nahi (I am a tiger's cub. It will not scare me at all),' he said, while addressing 'Nav Sankalp Mahasabha' in Bihar's Munger district.
Chirag said he was being intimidated on social media, revealing this a week after receiving a threat on his Instagram account.
The Union Minister said that the detractors made failed attempts to intimidate him.
'But they forget that I am a tiger's cub, who does not know how to bend. It is impossible to scare me,' he told the gathering.
Without taking the name of his uncle and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) chief Pashupati Kumar Paras, Chirag said that many people were upset with his rise and LJP (RV)'s 'Bihari First, Bihari First' vision.
In a veiled attack on the Opposition RJD, Chirag said the party had pushed the state into poverty and backwardness during its time in power and was now trying to mislead people ahead of the assembly elections with false promises of jobs and employment opportunities.

MAGA singer's Canada gigs cancelled: Backlash over Sean Feucht's anti-diversity views; organisers cite safety risks
Sean Feuch (Picture: Instagram) US singer Sean Feucht's permit to hold a concert at the York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax was cancelled this week by Parks Canada. Officials cited safety concerns following public backlash against his anti-2SLGBTQ+, anti-women's rights, and anti-diversity remarks on social media. Feucht, a religious performer with links to the MAGA movement, was scheduled to perform on Wednesday. His permits for other events in Charlottetown (P.E.I.), Moncton (New Brunswick), and some parts of Quebec were also revoked soon after. LGBTQ+ groups welcomed the decision. Cameron Cassidy, head of Pride P.E.I., said, 'The City of Charlottetown absolutely did the right thing by revoking that permit. It shows respect for the queer community.' But not everyone agreed. James Turk, director at Toronto Metropolitan University's Centre for Free Expression, said cancelling a permit over a person's views is dangerous. 'The foundation of democracy is public discourse, including ideas we disagree with,' he said. 'Censorship only amplifies such voices.' Feucht later performed at a private venue in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, hosted by pastors Christine and Neil Barr. They said they faced hundreds of hate messages and some protests but went ahead with the show. In response to criticism, Feucht posted: 'If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, no one would've cared. But my Christian beliefs are seen as a threat.' Opponents said his views go against Parks Canada's values of inclusion and safety. Turk countered that while physical safety must be ensured, 'a subjective feeling of being unsafe' isn't legal grounds to silence someone.

Europe Fractures Over Palestine? Italy's Meloni Rejects France's Recognition Push As ‘Illusion'
Rome: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has rebuked France's decision to move toward recognising the State of Palestine, warning that such symbolic gestures risk misleading the world into believing a solution exists when it does not. Speaking to La Repubblica on Saturday, Meloni said, 'I am very much in favour of the State of Palestine, but I am not in favour of recognising it before its establishment.' 'If something that does not exist is recognised on paper, the problem could appear to be solved when it is not,' she further said. Her statement has come at a time when France's President Emmanuel Macron is preparing to make what he called a 'historic' declaration at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in September. Macron has earlier declared, 'True to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine.' The message appeared on both X and Instagram and has since been echoed across international headlines. France's pivot is more than symbolic. It places one of the EU's core powers squarely in the camp of the 142 nations that already recognise Palestinian statehood, according to an AFP count. This includes major countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America, but it notably excludes the United States, Germany and Italy. Like Italy, Germany has signalled its hesitation. Berlin made it clear it is not ready to follow Macron's lead, emphasising instead the need to achieve 'long-overdue progress' toward a two-state solution, rather than simply affirming it in principle. But Macron's announcement has reignited tensions with Israel and the United States, both of which have long opposed unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood. According to diplomats aligned with Tel Aviv and Washington, the fear is that such moves could sideline negotiations and embolden hardliners. The backdrop to all this is the historical arc that began in 1947, when the United Nations approved a resolution dividing British-mandated Palestine into two separate entities – one Jewish and one Arab. The next year, Israel declared statehood. The Arab state, meanwhile, has remained caught in limbo, recognised by many, but without defined borders, sovereignty or a unified government. Meloni's concern is rooted in that unresolved reality. While carefully worded, her message delivered a warning that premature recognition could solidify the illusion of peace without delivering it, leaving both Israelis and Palestinians trapped in the very limbo that generations of diplomacy have failed to escape.

Chirag faces heat from NDA over crime remarks
Patna: A day after criticising the state govt and police over law and order issues, LJP (Ram Vilas) chief and Union minister Chirag Paswan continued to draw sharp responses from alliance partners Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and JD(U) on Sunday. Following Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi's remark branding Chirag as a politically inexperienced figure, his son and HAM(S) president Santosh Suman launched a scathing attack of his own. However, BJP leader and PHED Minister Neeraj Singh Babloo maintained that while internal criticism is welcome, Chirag remains very much part of the NDA fold. "It has become fashionable nowadays to gain media attention by issuing statements on crime," Suman said. "Where does morality go when criminals are welcomed into parties with pomp and show?" he asked. JD(U) MLA from Parbatta, Sanjeev Kumar, also hit out at Chirag, questioning his political influence in the state. "He doesn't have a single MLA in Bihar. There is no question of him supporting the Nitish Kumar govt," Sanjeev said. "If he had contested the Lok Sabha elections alone, he would have known his real standing. His party won seats only because of votes cast in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name," Kumar added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Price May Surprise You) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Despite the criticism, Chirag's LJP(RV) had a clean sweep in the Lok Sabha elections, winning all five seats allotted to the party. Meanwhile, Purnia MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav commented on Chirag's growing political alignment with Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor. "Prashant should formally declare Chirag as his CM candidate. If Chirag wins even a few seats in the assembly elections, he will pose problems for JD(U)," he said. Reacting to the HAM(S) leaders' criticism, Jamui MP Arun Bharti, Chirag's brother-in-law, said, "Manjhi may consider himself a prominent Dalit leader, but the people will decide that in the upcoming elections."
