Patna, Jan 21 (PTI) Maharashtra government's decision to give licences to only those taxi drivers fluent in Marathi was an "attempt to break the unity and integrity of the country," Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said, demanding immediate withdrawal of the order.
The Maharashtra government's decision was an attack on the federal structure of the society and would have far reaching repercussions on other states, he said here.
Kumar said he would write to Prime Minister Manomhan Singh in this regard as the Constitution provides every citizen of the country the right to move and settle in any part of the country in search of job.
"Earlier, North Indians were beaten up by Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sena (MNS) for appearing in Railway and other examinations.
