'Evolve political consensus on Bihar'

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT. 21. The former Governor, Dr. Bhishma Narain Singh, has called for an urgent all-party meeting on Bihar to help liberate the State from the cult of violence. He has sought a meaningful dialogue among all political leaders, including the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, to find a lasting solution.

While warning politicians that ``the country as a whole may suffer, if the epidemic of violence, militancy and terrorism is not nipped in the bud,'' Dr. Singh said political parties should rise above petty and political considerations.

Other States could be affected if sanity and rule of law were not restored in Bihar.

It was high time decay and decadence were halted with a firm resolve and a consensus was evolved and an agenda set for revitalising the State, Dr. Singh observed in a press release here today.
