PATNA, May 15:
The murder of a teenager and a journalist within a week has proved that law and order has completely broken down in Bihar and President’s rule should be imposed in the state, LJP supremo Ram Vilas Paswan said today.
“It is appropriate time for imposition of President’s rule in Bihar. The teenager Aditya Sachdeva in Gaya and journalist Rajdeo Ranjan in Siwan were murdered within a week. It reflects complete breakdown of law and order,” he said.
Sachdeva was shot dead allegedly by the son of JD(U) MLC Manorama Devi in Gaya on May 7 in a road rage case, while Ranjan was gunned down in Chatra on May 13.
“The situation appears to be worse than ‘jungle raj’ or ‘rakshasa (demon) raj’,” he alleged adding only President’s rule can “arrest further slide” in the law and order situation.
The Union Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Minister demanded CBI probe in both the cases claiming that Bihar Police will not be able to bring the culprits to justice due to “political pressure”. (PTI)
