Lalu, Nitish, Paswan should mind their own business: Uddhav

Mumbai, Oct 28 (UNI) Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray today asked Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Union chemical and fertilisers minister Ramvilas Paswan ''to mind their own business and not interfere in Maharashtra's affairs''.

Defending the killing of a Bihari youth Rahul Raj Singh in an encounter with Mumbai police yesterday, Mr Thackeray, while addressing a press conference at Sena Bhavan in Dadar here, said political leaders from Bihar have come together to condemn this incident but they should think of doing something for the people of their state.

Commenting on the state Home Minister R R Patil's 'bullet for bullet' remark, the Shiv Sena leader said initially the home minister should clarify how a gun-totting man was allowed to roam around the city in a bus.

He said Shiv Sena was capable of protecting interests of the ''Marathi Manoos'' and nobody should try to take credit for the same.
