Purnea (Bihar), July 07, 2025 (ANI) : Independent MP from Bihar's Purnea, Pappu Yadav reacted fiercely against assault on hindi-speaking people in Maharashtra. "We have taken it as a challenge. If a Hindi-speaking person or a Bihari is assaulted, I will not let the Indian government and Maharashtra banking systems work... If a Bihari is beaten, we will close Bihar, we will not fight against Marathi, but we will not let the government function", he said in a statement.
