Minister Criticizes Bihar Liquor Ban, Bangladesh Violence
A minister named Jitan Ram Manjhi spoke about two important issues.
First, he criticized the Bangladesh government for not protecting Hindus who are facing violence.
He said it's the government's job to keep all people safe.
Second, he talked about the liquor ban in Bihar, a state in India.
He said the ban is not being enforced fairly because it mostly affects poor people, while the real criminals are not being caught.
He suggested that Bihar should follow a different model, like the one in Gujarat, to make the ban more effective and fair.
Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi criticized the Bangladesh government for not protecting Hindus facing violence.
He emphasized that the safety of minorities is the responsibility of any government.
Manjhi also criticized Bihar's liquor ban, stating it unfairly targets the poor and economically weaker sections.

Manjhi suggested that Bihar should adopt the Gujarat governance model for a more effective and fair enforcement of the liquor ban.
