In a post on X, he said political differences should not come in the way of compassion. \u201cWe do not want a fire to rage between the people of society. We want a gentle shower of harmony to fall upon society. The healthy tradition of our positive politics has taught us precisely this. That is why we went to meet BJP MLA Mrs Anupama Jaiswal Ji and have returned after wishing her a swift recovery to good health. \u201d he said. “Politics has its place, and the importance of human relationships has its own place. May goodwill endure, may harmony endure!” he added.Jaiswal was admitted to Medanta Hospital after being injured while attempting to set fire to an effigy of Yadav and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi<\/a> during a demonstration held in support of the Centre\u2019s \u2018Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam\u2019.
