Spiritual 'Guru' Sri Sri Ravishankar on Sunday lavished praise on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi for improved law and order situation and development in Bihar, but said much more was needs to be done in this direction.
"I am glad that the people of Bihar move around freely without any fear," he said at a function at the Veterinary College in Sheikhpura locality.
Singling out Kumar and Modi for their works ‘in ushering in development and improved law and order situation in Bihar,’ Ravishankar said the duo should continue to do the good works as much more was needed to be done to take the backward state among the frontline of the developed ones.
Ravishankar appealed to the people to neither accept bribe or give it to anybody to weed out the virus. The spiritual guru also disapproved violence by the naxalites ‘for whatsoever objective’ and appealed to the ultras to join the mainstream for their own good and that of the society, he said and referred to the landmine blast by the Naxalites in Jharkhand's Garhwa district yesterday.
"The naxalites are misguided youths of our own society who have taken to the path of violence in pursuance of their ideology for social change, but they are wrong if they think that they could achieve their goal through arms," he said.
Ravishankar said three Maoists had consented to surrender before him today, but could not do so finally without stating the reasons.
