In Nawada, Bihar, unidentified assailants set fire to houses in the Mahadalit colony, with Congress leaders claiming over 80 homes were destroyed, though police report a count of 21. The violence, linked to a land dispute, has sparked widespread condemnation from opposition parties, particularly the Congress, who describe the incident as indicative of a 'jungle raj' under the NDA government. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and other leaders criticized the state for its neglect and called for immediate action against the perpetrators, emphasizing the plight of Dalit families affected by the violence. No casualties were reported, but ten suspects were detained as investigations continue. The incident has prompted demands for government assistance for the victims and a stronger stance against such acts of violence. Political leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, have highlighted the need for urgent government intervention and rehabilitation efforts for the displaced families.
