PATNA: The opposition parties in the state on Friday criticised the state government over the assault on ADJ-I of Jhanjharpur civil court, Avinash Kumar, by two police officers in his official chamber on Thursday.
Leader of opposition in the state legislative assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, cornered the state government on the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
Soon after the Jharjharpur incident came to the notice of the RJD leader, he tweeted, “There is complete administrative anarchy in the state. The law and order machinery has virtually collapsed and people have been left to fend for themselves.”
Tejashwi alleged that criminal activities have gained alarming proportions in Madhubani during the stint of the incumbent SP Satya Prakash, who has close connections in the corridors of power.
He further alleged that loot, murder, kidnapping and rape have become a routine affair in Madhubani. “Yet he continues to enjoy his posting in the district,” the RJD leader said, adding that ‘everybody is aware of ‘Nalanda model’.
Congress MLC Prem Chandra Mishra on Friday squarely blamed Nitish, who also holds the home portfolio, for such a sorry state of affair. “This is virtually the climax of lawlessness in the state. The incident shows how police have become ‘nirankush’ and ‘arajak’,” he said.
“The police have shirked from their prime duty and responsibility. Imagine the situation when the police go amok. How they will behave with common people when judicial officers are not spared,” he added.
Referring to the murder of an RTI activist-cum-journalist in Madhubani, Mishra said the accountability of the erring police officers should be fixed in such serious offences. The police have failed to arrest the real culprits, he lamented.
