Bhojpuri Singer Devi : Bhojpuri singer Devi was forced to stop singing Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram at an event in Bihar after the audience objected to the line Ishwar Allah Tero Naam. She apologised to avoid the situation from getting worse. Devi later demanded action against those who disrupted the event.

However, her performance took a dramatic turn when she sang the bhajan 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram'. Devi was reportedly forced to stop singing the bhajan as some of the audience objected to the line 'Ishwar Allah Tero Naam'.

In an interview with ANI, Devi explained what happened at the event. She said, “I am shocked. I was singing Mahatma Gandhi's favourite bhajan. Big leaders including (Bihar) Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha and Ashwini Choubey were present there. When the line 'Ishwar Allah Tero Naam' came, some people from 'Hindu Putra Sangathan' started creating a ruckus. The leaders present on the stage could not understand how to handle the situation and some of them came to me and asked me to apologise so that the situation could be controlled.”

Devi said, 'I apologised because I did not want the situation to worsen. I also received the 'Atal Vishisht Samman' from the Deputy Chief Minister there. Now I feel that strict action should be taken against those who created chaos there... I am also getting threats. This is an insult to women. Such a cheap act on the birth anniversary of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who kept all communities together, is shameful... The party should take action against such people. I thank all those who came in my support.'

Priyanka Gandhi also reacted on this incident

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi also reacted to the incident, sharing a video clip of it on social media and criticising the protesters. She wrote in Hindi, 'They offer flowers to Bapu to show the world but in reality they have no respect for him. They take the name of Babasaheb Ambedkar for show but in reality they insult him. The BJP hates our tolerant and inclusive culture and tradition so much that they insult our great men again and again.'
