Talking about Chirag Pawan touching his feet during NDA meeting, his uncle and Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras on July 22 said that the gesture was out of courtesy. “That was just courtesy. This is our courtesy that if someone touches the feet of any elder then the elder person gives the blessing in return. Especially in Bihar when somebody touches feet, the senior gives blessings. In the same way, when he (Chirag Paswan) touched my feet I gave my blessing to him. That was something personal and political issue is different,” said Pashupati Kumar Paras.
