The independent MLA Pawan Jaiswal from Dhaka assembly constituency in East Champaran district raised the issue during zero house flaying the Centre's decision to withdraw two CRPF battalions from Bihar, including one deployed in his home district, and expressed concern that the step will create law and order problems.
Jaiswal was joined by the RJD members led by the Leader of Opposition Abdul Bari Siddique and the senior Congress MLA Sadanand Singh in protesting withdrawal of the central paramilitary forces from the state and asked the government whether it has opposed the central move or has any intention to do so.
Amid the din, the Speaker Uday Narayan Chaudhary asked the agitating members to resume their seats and allow the state government to reply on the issue.
The Water Resources Department (WRD) Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, in his capacity as the Home Minister in-charge, decried the Centre's move to withdraw two CRPF battalions from Bihar and described the move as unilateral.
The state government was neither consulted or informed about it, he said.
