FP's praise for Nitish a publicity stunt: Lalu

November 28, 2012 20:24

RJD supremo Lalu Prasad today termed as a 'publicity stunt' the listing of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by a US magazine among top 100 global thinkers.

"Such things are nothing but publicity material, far from the truth," he told reporters in his reaction to the prestigious Foreign Policy magazine naming Kumar among its top 100 global thinkers.

Aung San Suu Kyi, pro-democracy leader of Myanmar, tops the list and the country's president Thein Sein, author Salman Rushdie and Malala Yousufzai, the rights activist of Pakistan who was attacked by the Taliban, are others mentioned in it.
