Patna, September 02: RJD supremo Lalu Prasad today accused Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of failing to handle the crisis arising out of the kidnapping of policemen after the encounter with Maoists in Lakhisarai district.
“The state is insensitive and inhuman…the policemen continue to sacrifice their lives but still there is no care for them and their families…what will compensation do after families lose their near and dear ones,” Prasad asked.
He alleged no initiative was taken for securing release of the hostages and appealed to the ultras to shun the path of violence and free the captives unconditionally.
“Violence is no way to solve a problem…the Maoists must shun it and release the hostages without any condition as they are like their brothers,” he said.
