Viral Video Shows Congress MP Anwar Carried by Villagers: He Responds

A video showing Congress MP Tariq Anwar being carried by villagers during a flood inspection in Katihar, Bihar, has gone viral, leading to a wave of criticism. The video, which captured Anwar’s visit to the flood-affected areas of Manihari and Barari on Sunday, prompted the BJP to express disapproval. Anwar has since addressed the controversy, explaining that he was experiencing sunstroke due to the high temperatures.
