NDTV
Nitish Kumar said his government was on guard against any such clashes in Bihar.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, speaking on communal clashes during Ram Navami processions in various states, said today that "every community" must avoid confrontation and that prayers have nothing to do with violence. एक दूसरे से झग़ड़ा का पूजा से कोई सम्बंध हैं ??आपको पूजा करना हैं तो पूजा कीजिएगा ना कि झगड़ा ये कहना हैं @NitishKumar का @ndtvindia @Anurag_Dwary pic.twitter.com/LA4xWtMKG0
Nitish Kumar has made the comments at a time his ally BJP is facing criticism over the hugely controversial move by its government in Madhya Pradesh to target the homes of people accused of throwing stones at a Ram Navami procession.
"We should have peace and harmony between communities. Each person has their own way of worshipping but we should not fight amongst ourselves - that is very important. If you believe in puja (worship), then do puja properly. Is clashing with each other related to prayers," Nitish Kumar said in his comments to reporters.
