Despite his fragile health, the 76-year-old leader had joined a protest against the Waqf Amendment Bill in Gardanibagh, Patna, on March 26, alongside his son Tejashwi Yadav. Addressing the gathering, he criticized the bill and the Bihar government, stating, “Something wrong is happening. The government should look into it. We are against it. No one will face injustice.”
Medical History: Multiple Surgeries in a Decade
Lalu Prasad has undergone three major surgeries in the past ten years:
