Patna, Jan 18 (IBNS) Rashtriya Janata Dal President Lalu Prasad Yadav has defended Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's ban on sirens on cars with blue and red beacons.

Speaking at the function in Patna where he took over as party president for the seventh term, Lalu said that "Nitish Kumar had done the right thing".

"Everyone knows it was being misused rampantly and Nitish, by issuing the order, preempted any possible misuse," he said.

The ban on hooters had caused much heartburn among the VIPs of the state with some party workers saying that Nitish Kumar's decision was unfair and that it was aimed at stripping the ministers of their privileges of using a car with a red or blue beacon.
