A group of RJD workers led by Manoj Yadav and Kunal Yadav gathered in Newari village and raised slogans against Singh, who is the Rural Works and Panchayati Raj Minister in the Nitish Kumar government, before burning his effigy to protest against his insensitive remarks that 'the soliders are recruited to lay down their lives for the nation'.
Apparently not satisfied with the apology tendered by the minister, the protesters urged the Chief Minister to sack Singh who has courted controversy on several issues in the past.
The RJD supremo Lalu Prasad is slated to visit Nautan village to console the jawan's grieving family members later in the day.
