Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar faxed a stronglyworded letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday, protesting against the proposed move to make photo-identity cards mandatory for every person in Delhi.
He charged that the exercise was aimed at targeting people of Bihari origin and has stressed that the move will play around with citizen's rights, liberty and the Constitution.
"Mr Prime Minister, we have survived as a vibrant democracy and as a nation because of our Constitution. We cannot tamper with the basic rights that are given to citizens," the Bihar Chief Minister, in a three-page letter questioning the alleged move of the Delhi Government, has cautioned.
Kumar has remarked that through the proposed measure, there was an attempt to turn Delhi into a `police state' and has feared that its repercussions could be dangerous.
He has opined that the civil and political wings should not get influenced by the uniformed cadres without assessing the incumbent dangers.
