Patna, Jul 02 (UNI) Mr Pashupati Kumar Paras, president of Paras faction of LJP, today advised Chirag Paswan, LJP leader and son of founder president of LJP Ram Vilas Paswan, to take out "Ashirvad Yatra" from Jamui on July 05, instead of Hajipur.
Mr Paras, on his arrival from New Delhi here, told media persons that Chirag was the son of Ram Vilas Paswan and he had every right to celebrate his birth anniversary, falling on July 05. What was the purpose for Chirag to take out "Ashirvad Yatra" on the birth anniversary of Ram Vilas Paswan when he was no more, he pointed out.
" Chirag should organise Shradhanjali Sabha ( tributes meeting) on July 5, instead of taking out Ashirvad Yatra", Mr Paras said adding that he was the younger brother of the founder president of LJP and he had also right to celebrate his birth anniversary. The birth anniversary of Ram Vilas Paswan would be celebrated at the LJP office in Patna on July 05 and leaders and workers from all parts of Bihar would participate in the event, he stated.
" Dalit Sena, a social organisation, would also celebrate the birth anniversary of founder president of LJP on July 05 across the country", Mr Paras said adding that that birth anniversary would be a national event. There was no difference over celebrating the birth anniversary of Ram Vilas Paswan as Chirag had the right to celebrate as his son while he had the right to organise function as his younger brother, he pointed out. Chirag was MP from Jamui and he should take out "Ashirvad Yatra" from there as it was his 'Karma Bhumi', he felt.
Mr Paras, LJP MP from Hajipur, did not respond directly to a query on his possibility to become Minister in cabinet expansion at the Centre, likely in the next few days.
Further, he said that it was the prerogative of the Prime Minister to decide who should be inducted in the cabinet.
