Hoarding, black marketing by small traders is no crime: Manjhi
Manjhi had said that hoarding and black marketing of goods by small traders will not be treated as a crime and asked them not to worry about such activities.
"I am aware that small traders indulge in hoarding and black marketing of goods to make profit in order to sustain their families and educate their children. You please don't worry about your activities as the state government will not punish you for hoarding and black marketing on small scale," he had said at a function organised by Bihar State Foodgrain Businessmen's Association.
Virtually defending hoarding and black marketing by petty traders, the Chief Minister said that he did not mind such activities as the traders were doing it for a noble cause – to sustain their families and educate their children.
