Congress delegation meets Bharat Tiwari’s grieving family, vows to seek justice
Senior Congress members travelled to Darbhanga, Bihar, to console the family of journalist Bharat Tiwari, promising political backing and a call for accountability.
On a humid morning in Darbhanga, a small convoy of Congress leaders rolled into the modest home of Bharat Tiwari’s family. The air was thick with grief; a mother clutched a worn photograph of her son, a journalist who had been shot dead under contentious circumstances last month.
Among the visitors were state party president Akshay Pratap Singh, veteran MP Rahul Verma, and a handful of young activists who had been rallying for justice ever since the incident. They exchanged brief, hushed words with the family, offering condolences that felt more like a promise.
“We are here not just to pay respects, but to assure you that your loss will not be in vain,” Singh said, his voice cracking slightly. He went on to pledge that the Congress will raise the matter in the state assembly, demand a thorough investigation, and press the central government to intervene.
The family, still reeling, expressed a mixture of relief and lingering suspicion. “We have been waiting for someone to actually listen,” said Tiwari’s elder sister, eyes glistening. She thanked the delegation for coming, but reminded them that words must be backed by action.
Observers noted that the meeting could signal a renewed political focus on press freedom in Bihar, a state where journalists often face intimidation. The delegation also hinted at organising a public march next week, inviting civil‑society groups to join the call for an independent probe.
As the Congress team departed, the lingering scent of fresh marigold garlands seemed to symbolize a hope that, perhaps, this sorrowful chapter might finally see some closure.
