Railway minister Lalu Prasad asked the media not to give much importance to Raj Thackeray's remarks against Hindi-speaking people, a day after the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president alleged that north Indian students were getting admissions after giving donations."Let him say. Why the media is giving importance to divisive forces," said Prasad, who is in Ranchi to deposit his passport at a CBI court on Tuesday."We condemn every sort of divisive remarks," Prasad said replying to a query on whether he would be a mute spectator to Thackeray's continued salvos against the Hindi speaking people.The MNS leader had told a party rally in Pune on Sunday that Pune with its large number of universities and educational institutions was attracting students from north India who were allegedly being admitted on donations, depriving deserving Marathi aspirants.
