Abstract

Former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has criticized current CM Nitish Kumar for his handling of suspected hooch tragedies in Sitamarhi and Gopalganj, which resulted in the deaths of 10 people. Manjhi drew a parallel to General Dyer's actions in Jalliawalan Bagh during British rule, suggesting that Kumar should take severe actions against Dalit individuals involved in the tragedies. Manjhi has previously spoken out against the liquor ban in Bihar, claiming that it is ineffective and disproportionately penalizes the poor and Dalit community. [Extracted from the article]
