Paswan asks Nitish to clarify stand on naxals

Bihar chief minister, Nitish Kumar should clarify his stand on countering the naxals instead of giving "sermons" to the Union home minister, P Chidambaram on the issue, LJP president, Ram Vilas Paswan said today.
      
"Instead of giving sermons to Chidambaram, Kumar should clarify his policies on controlling the naxals," Paswan told reporters here.
      
He charged the Nitish Kumar government with not being serious in solving the naxalite problems and said that he skipped the high-level meeting of chief ministers convened by Chidambaram in Kolkata recently.
      
Criticising the Mahadalit Commissuion in Bihar, Paswan said that a rally of the dalits would be held at Ahembadbad on the birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar on April 14.
      
The next day he would march to Banthal village with thousands of party workers and Dalit Sena activitis to express solidarity with 145 dalit families, boycotted for participating in a temple inauguration function.
