Bihar hooch tragedy: BJP MPs seek strict action against those responsible
On Thursday, several BJP MPs from Bihar in Lok Sabha sought strict action against those responsible for the sale of illicit liquor in the state while blaming the JDU-RJD-Congress state government for the deaths of more than 20 persons after consuming spurious liquor in Saran district.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in Lok Sabha, BJP MP from Paschim Champaran Sanjay Jaiswal alleged that fake liquor is being distributed in Bihar through the local administration, which has led to the deaths of several persons in the Saran district of the state. He further claimed that several such incidents of deaths due to the consumption of spurious liquor had taken place in the state in the past also.
The sale and consumption of alcohol have been banned in Bihar since April 2016. However, there have been several instances of citizens dying and falling ill after drinking spurious liquor in the state, BJP MP from Maharajganj Janardan Singh Sigriwal, in whose area the latest incident has taken place, claimed.
Sigriwal said that many people had also turned blind after consuming spurious liquor in Bihar.
