Patna: Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar Friday emphasised that he would visit Mumbai
to attend the Bihar Diwas celebrations Sunday even though the
event has run into severe opposition from the Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena (MNS).
"The Bihar Diwas celebration in Mumbai is a socio-cultural event,
not a political function," Nitish Kumar told reporters.
"I will visit Mumbai to attend Bihar Diwas celebrations," Nitish
Kumar said in response to MNS chief Raj Thackeray's remarks.
The
latter has challenged the Bihar chief minister to enter the city
for Sunday's celebrations.
Nitish Kumar had earlier said he was "free to travel anywhere in
the country and do not need a visa to come to Mumbai".
The MNS, which has often protested the presence of migrant labour
from north India in Mumbai, has been bitterly opposing Bihar Day
in Mumbai.
