RANCHI: The elder son of RJD chief and former

chief minister Lalu Prasad,

, said on Sunday said though his father did not agree with his decision to divorce his wife Aishwarya Rai, he will continue with the court petition.

Yadav, who filed for divorce from his wife Aishwarya at a family court in Patna on Friday, travelled to Ranchi to meet Lalu at Rims on Saturday. The meeting, which lasted for two-and-a-half hours, failed to persuade Yadav from changing his stand.

"If my father is not agreeing to my decision, then why should I listen to him?" Yadav told reporters waiting outside his hotel before boarding his car for the return journey to Patna.

Yadav, who had a brief stint as health minister of Bihar in Nitish Kumar's cabinet, said he filed for divorce because of Aishwary's misbehaviour. "I have mentioned everything in my petition," he said.

Though his younger brother Tejaswi tried to shield Tej in Patna on Saturday and called it a family matter, Yadav remained defiant in his stance. When prodded whether his decision could affect the family and politics, Yadav said, "What should I do? Should I die bit by bit every day or hang myself?" he retorted. Yadav also claimd that he was forced to marry against his will.
