New Delhi, Aug 22: Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders today sought President A P J Abdul Kalam's intervention to stop BJP's proposed 'Gaurav yatra' in Gujarat on September 3. In a memorandum to Kalam, the two parties said that as the custodian of the Constitution, he should "stop this sinister act of politics." "As a nation, it would be most shameful for us if we were to let such an act of glorification of death and destruction take place," the memorandum said.
In another memorandum, both NCP and LJP drew the President's attention to the situation arising out of floods in Bihar and sought a comprehensive policy to tackle the perennial problem in the state. The memoranda were signed among others by NCP general secretary and former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra, LJP leader and former union minister Ram Vilas Paswan. Bureau Report
