PATNA: At a time when the slain Gopalganj district magistrate G Krishnaiah’s wife Uma, the Central IAS Association and different other fora urging Bihar government to reconsider its decision to grant remission to the murder convict don-turned-politician Anand Mohan, CM Nitish Kumar on Friday strongly defended his government’s decision to release the former MP from Saharsa district jail asking, “Should there be any difference in granting remission to prisoners convicted of murdering a government officer or a common man?”
Nitish also asserted that there should be no difference in grant of remission to the prisoners based on to whom they have murdered.
