RJD Leader Wants MNS Declared a Extremist Outfit
Patna: July 6, 2008
 Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Ram Kripal Yadav, at a seminar organized to discuss issues related to extremist outfits like Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and the ULFA, said that people like Raj Thackeray should be declared terrorists and legal proceedings should be initiated against them for indulging in anti-national activities.
"Because of certain politicians, the unity of the nation is in jeopardy and if leaders like Raj Thackeray are not reigned in immediately, things could go only worse," Yadav said at the seminar organized by the Dr. Manoj Pandey Memorial Trust Fund in Patna on Sunday.
Congress state president Sadanand Singh, meanwhile, lashed out at today's politicians saying cheap and divisive politics was eating away the very core of the Indian democracy and there was a burning need for an united front to fight such forces.
Singh also blamed the NDA government in Bihar saying the rate of progress under the leadership of Nitish Kumar was far from satisfactory as educated, talented young men and women were still rushing to states like Haryana and Maharashtra in large numbers to seek high-paying jobs.
