Don’t meddle in our affairs, Uddhav tells Lalu


MUMBAI, Oct 28 – Asking leaders from Bihar not to add “fuel to the fire” over the raging controversy on the anti-north Indian campaign, Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray today said Railway Minister Lalu Prasad should not meddle in Maharashtra’s affairs. The Bihar leaders should “not add fuel to the fire” by making statements over the condition of north Indians in Mumbai.

Reacting to Lalu Prasad’s demand that Sena should be banned, Uddhav said the “real” culprits of Bihar people are their own leaders.

“Bihar leaders should ask themselves why people from their state have to migrate to Mumbai to make a living,” Uddhav said.

“I would advice Lalu not meddle in Maharashtra’s affairs,” he said.

Referring to yesterday’s shoot-out in which a Bihar youth was killed, Uddhav said “he had pistol in his hand, he could have killed somebody. Police were under pressure what were they expected to do?”

About arrest of Sadhvi Pragya Singh in connection with blasts at Malegaon and Modasa, Uddhav said “it has to be proved that these people were behind the blasts but I don’t defend them.” –PTI
