Anand Mohan Sahay in Patna
The Rashtriya Janata Dal chief and former chief minister of Bihar Laloo Prasad Yadav claimed on Sunday that 'fear stricken' Muslims of Gujarat have started arriving in Bihar to settle down permanently.
Yadav said that Gujarat Muslims preferred to settle down in Bihar for the security and communal harmony prevailing in the state.
Bihar has remained free of communal clashes for more than a decade under the rule of Yadav's party, Rashtriya Janata Dal.
He said that the Muslims are not feeling secure in Gujarat under the rule of Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Minister of Gujarat.
Laloo, now a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, said that a case should be started against Modi for his 'role' in killing of Muslims.
He said a case should also be filed against Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for 'protecting' Modi and for his 'failure' to save the lives of Muslims.
