RJD dubs Nitish Kumar government as ''anti-minority''

Patna, Aug 30 (UNI) The RJD today dubbed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as ''anti-minority'' and said atrocities against them had increased during the NDA regime.

RJD general secretary-cum-spokesperson Shyam Rajak, state unit spokesperson Shakeel Ahmad khan and state general secretary Nihora Prasad told newspersons today that the ''atrocity'' on Aurangzeb alias Saleem in Nathnagar police station of Bhagalpur district was a glaring example of growing ''atrocities'' on minorities during the NDA regime in the State.

They maintained that Mr Kumar was heading a governmet with the support of the BJP but was still claiming himself as secular. They also reacted strongly to the comments of the JD(U) leaders on RJD supremo Lalu Yadav branding him as a non-secular leader.

The RJD leaders maintained that Mr Yadav did not require any certificate from the JD(U) leaders. They also blamed the NDA government for rising incidents of encroachments of graveyard land at different places in the State.
