Paswan urges Dalai Lama to visit Bodh Gaya

Blaming the Nitish Kumar government for the terror attack on Bodh Gaya temple, LJP President Ramvilas Paswan today urged Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama to visit the world famous shrine.
The confidence of Buddhist people are shattered after the serial blasts in the temple, he said and requested the Dalai Lama to visit Bodh Gaya temple at the earliest to instill confidence among the followers.
His visit would be a befitting reply to the attackers and conspirators of Bodh Gaya, the LJP chief said.
"The state intelligence department failed to know about the attack. It is the failure of Nitish Kumar government," Paswan told reporters.

When the Centre had alerted the government well in advance, they should have made full-proof security arrangements, he said.
Paswan welcomed the Supreme Court order prohibiting convicted persons from contesting elections.
He also hailed the Allahabad High Court ruling to ban caste rallies saying this would help in breaking casteism from politics.
Caste leaders could organise a function but what was the logic of political parties organising rallies of different castes, he asked in a veiled attack on BSP chief Mayawati.
