"Unwell" Congress MP Tariq Anwar Carried By Villagers For Flood Inspection In Bihar | Read

Congress MP Tariq Anwar got a piggyback ride in Bihar's Katihar during a 'flood inspection' drive. In a viral video, villagers can be seen wading through a waterlogged field while carrying Mr Anwar on their backs, who was there to inspect a flood-hit area. While the video has given room to a political row, Congress has come out in support of its minister and is defending by saying that Mr Anwar was "unwell."

Tariq Anwar, Congress MP from Katihar, was on a two-day visit to his parliamentary constituency, inspecting the impact of the flood. Mr Anwar used various modes of transport, including a tractor and a boat, to commute and inspect the region and meet people hit by the flood. But in one of the videos, Mr Anwar is seen being carried by villagers.
