Lalu flays Deshmukh's visit

NEW DELHI: Criticising Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh's visit to terror-ravaged Taj Hotel with Bollywood director Ram Gopal Verma in tow, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad today said "that is why he (Deshmukh) is now being removed."

Eyebrows were raised after ace film maker Ram Gopal Verma and Reitesh Deshmukh, actor-son of the Chief Minister, accompanied the CM as he visited the Hotel Taj on Sunday.

Prasad also said that "anybody who makes a film on this incident should be boycotted. We should boycot every such person, be it a director or an actor."
