Speaking to reporters, Paswan stated, “Political differences are one thing, but that family is also my family. When there is tension in any family, I can understand how unsettling it can be.”

Paswan further emphasized, “I do not believe that after marriage, the in-laws’ house is the only home for a daughter. I do not support this conservative thinking. When she (Rohini) said all this yesterday, I could understand that pain, and I pray that all of this is resolved soon.”

The Central Minister mentioned he would not comment further as he can relate to the mental state of a family going through such a difficult situation. He said, “I have been through this too. We may have political differences, but I have always considered Lalu Ji's family as my own.”

He added, “Be it Tejashwi, Tej, Misa, or Rohini, I have considered them my siblings. Therefore, I pray that this family dispute is resolved as soon as possible. If there is unity in the family, a person can fight external difficulties too… The family must be going through tough times.”

Chirag’s comments come a day after Rohini Acharya announced her intention to “quit politics” and her “estrangement” from her family. Rohini’s explosive social media post had caused a stir, articulating her pain of being ostracized, made to feel worthless, and the burden placed upon her.

She had written, “Yesterday a daughter, a sister, a married woman, a mother was insulted, abused, shoes were raised to hit her… I did not compromise my self-respect, did not abandon the truth… only because of this I had to suffer the humiliation. Yesterday a daughter, in helplessness, left her crying parents and siblings behind… she was forced to leave her maternal home… she was made an orphan… I pray that none of you have to walk my path, and that no home has a daughter or sister like Rohini.”
