Pointing to the gravity of police action on Baba Ramdev,Bihar Chief Minister today said even the Supreme Court had taken suo motu cognisance of the incident.

“The apex court has taken suo motu cognisance of the incident… The nature of Congress has remained unchanged as whenever it comes to power,it takes recourse in such action… What was the necessity of lobbing tear gas shells there?” he asked.

“While central ministers on behalf of the government held talks with Ramdev at Delhi airport,what provoked the Centre to take this extreme step?”

Alleging that the ‘brutal use’ of force was a sign of atrocity,he said the Centre and Congress owed an explanation to the nation.

Flaying Congress leader Digvijay Singh for his ‘unsavoury’ remarks,Kumar said the country wants to see whether the foul-mouthed in Congress reply to the judiciary and the people about their utterances.

“The Congress holds an opportunistic policy… First it kneels down and then wields lathis when one refuses to fall in line,” he alleged.

The government would have to explain the issues on which Ramdev reneged,the chief minister said,apparently referring to the charges of Union Ministers Kapil Sibal and Subodh Kant Sahay.
