To steal the show from RJD over Bihari-Maratha conflict, the JD(U) has announced that all its five Lok Sabha MPs would resign protesting the attack of Biharis in Mumbai.

JD(U) parliamentary party leader announced this on Thursday. He said that  "there was no option left before his party but asking its LS members to resign as the Maharashtra government was "patronising" those involved in such attacks and the central government was "silent" on the issue."

"The decision was taken as no action was taken against the culprits even after an all-party delegation of Bihar MPs met PM Manmohan Singh a few days back," Singh added.

Earlier 75% of the party's MPs and MLAs of Lalu Yadav's Rastriya Janata Dal (RJD) had sent their resignation to party supremo Lalu.

On the other hand JD(U) leader and Bihar Chief Minister had rejected the demand for resignation of its party MLAs. Saying that it would put Bihar under President's rule.
