Patna: RJD supremo Lalu Prasad has
called up Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking his
immediate intervention to get Maharashtra government's
decision on giving licence to those who are domicile of that
state for the last 15 years rescinded.
"I spoke to Prime Minister over telephone late last
evening and requested him to get the Maharashtra cabinet
decision rescinded as it is not good for the country's unity
and integrity", Prasad told a news agency today.
He said, Prime Minister assured him of doing the
needful in this connection.
The Maharashtra government's decision is an attack
on the federal structure of the constitution and would have
far reaching repercussions on other states, Prasad told Singh.
The constitution provides for every citizen of the
country the right to move and settle in any part of the
country in search of job, he added.
