Patna: JD(U) national president Sharad Yadav on Monday expressed disapproval with the Bihar government's decision to order a judicial probe into Forbesganj police firing incident earlier this month.
"I don't agree with the NDA government's decision to
order judicial probe into Forbesganj police firing incident,"
he told reporters here in a pointed reply to a question.
Yadav said that the state government's decision to
order a judicial probe into Forbesganj police firing incident
may discourage private investment in Bihar and deter the
industrialists from setting up their units in the state.
"Had I been the Chief Minister, I would not have
ordered a judicial probe in the matter," the JD(U) national
president said.
"I was not consulted by the Chief Minister before
taking a decision on ordering judicial probe into Forbesganj
police firing incident," he told reporters here.
Four persons were killed and about 30 others injured in
police firing in Forbesganj industrial area in Bihar's Araria
district on June 3 last.
