New Delhi: Reacting to the Nitish Kumar government's latest order to bring defamatory and offensive social media posts under cybercrime offences, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Jha said that he wants to congratulate Bihar for electing a Talibani leader.
Asking Kumar the reason behind the stringent order, he said, Where is Nitish taking Bihar, what are his intentions?
Manoj Jha further asked CM Nitish whether such methods would work in a democracy? Will you and the public representative keep making mistakes and people should not ask you questions?
"If people question you, you will sue them and send them to jail. This is an arrogant order," he added.
He added that the people of Bihar will not accept this Tughlaqi Talibani order. There will be a ruckus on the streets, then CM Nitish will keep walking with this order in his hand and it will be nothing more than just a piece of paper.
