Nitish hits out at Centre, Maharashtra government over rah thackrey’s remarks

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on sunday hit out at Centre and Maharashtra government for not taking any action against Mahaashtra  Navnirman sena chief Raj thakrey for his objectionable remark against north indian people.
“The MNS Chief’s diatribes against Biharis pose a challenge to all governments to deal with a person who has been holding out threat to the migrant people. People have the constitutional right to live and work in any part of the country,” he told reporters.

“It is the duty of the central government and the government of a state (Maharashtra) to take note of the conduct of a person like Thackeray and deal sternly with such elements,” Kumar said.

Demanding strong action against the MNS chief, a visibly angry Kumar asked as to how the Centre and the Maharashtra government would deal with terrorism if they could not rein in a person like Thackeray.

“Has the Mumbai police and the Maharashtra government outsourced governance to Thackeray?” he asked.

Kumar said Maharashtra government and Mumbai Police have sought clarification on the protest letter written by Bihar DGP to the Mumbai police chief against the manner of arrest of an accused person (Qadir).

Defending Bihar DGP’s letter, he said as per the circular of the Union Home Ministry the police or investigating agency of any state was duty-bound to inform the local police and seek its cooperation in the arrest of an accused person in a case.
