E-Mail this report to a friend

The Congress has decided to launch a 'do-or-die' agitation for a separate Jharkhand state.

Talking to reporters in Ranchi today, Jharkhand Regional Congress Committee chief Bandi Oraon said it was decided at a meeting of the JRCC yesterday to urge All-India Congress Committee president Sonia Gandhi to rein in the party leaders in Bihar who are speaking out against Jharkhand.

He said the people of Jharkhand would never forgive those leaders who try to obstruct the creation of the state, and warned that Congressmen from Jharkhand would be forced to initiate 'direct action' against them.
