Amit Shah in Bihar Today: The Home Minister will address a public meeting at Hisua in Nawada district on Sunday.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Patna was overshadowed by a political blame-game between the BJP and Nitish Kumar Amit Shah’s public meeting in Sasaram was canceled on Saturday after the ‘rumour’ of section 144 spread in the city of Sarkar in Bihar. While the administration denied invoking Section 144, the BJP alleged that the Nitish Kumar government deliberately tried to stop Amit Shah’s rally.

The Home Minister will also address a public meeting at Hisua in Nawada district on Sunday.

Prohibitory orders were in force in Sasaram and Nalanda on March 31 following communal tension during Ram Navami festival.

Speaking to reporters, CM Nitish Kumar indirectly attacked the BJP and alleged that some people from the saffron party were behind the violence. He assured a thorough probe into the incidents.

On Saturday, a BJP delegation led by president Samrat Chowdhary met the governor and submitted a memorandum regarding violence during processions in the two districts.
