Rashtriya Janta Dal president Lalu Prasad on Wednesday extended Christmas greetings to the people of the country and lauded the contributions made in the sphere of education by the "Christian community".
The message of the former Bihar chief minister, who is serving sentences in fodder scam cases at Ranchi in adjoining Jharkhand, was posted on his official Twitter handle which is operated by his close aides.
In the Hindi tweet, ending with '#HappyChristmas', Prasad said, "Our Constitution grants the freedom to each individual to practice the religion of one's own choice. Christian community has done a commendable job in spread of education, especially among women, thereby contributing towards making people achha insaan (good human beings)."
