Hyderabad, Oct 14 (UNI) Union Minister for Railways Lalu Prasad today said only the Centre had constituted the U C Banerjee Committee to probe certain aspects of the Godra Train Carnage and 'not the Railway Ministry'.

Referring to Gujarat High Court judgement which termed the setting up of the Committee by the Railway Ministry as ''unconstitutional, illegal and void'' and ruled that its report should not be tabled in Parliament, Mr Lalu said his ministry was not responsible for the constitution of the Committee.

About BJP demanding his resignation in the wake of the verdict, he said ''Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi did not resign when the Opposition parties demanded his resignation, during the Gujarat riots. Then why should I resign when the BJP and other Opposition demand it''.
