Himanta Biswa Sarma and Lalu Prasad

By Manoj Chaurasia

PATNA: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday launched a scathing attack at RJD president Lalu Prasad over his advocacy for “reservation to Muslims” and suggested that he should go to Pakistan if he wants to continue with his ‘principles’.

Addressing an election rally in favour of the JD(U) candidate in Siwan, he said, “Our constitution doesn’t make provision for granting reservation to the people along religious lines, but Lalu says Muslims too should be given reservations.

We want to tell Lalu that Hindus have awakened now. Reservation can’t be granted along religious lines, but still, if he wants to do that, he must go to Pakistan. It will never happen in India.”
