Patna: JD (U) chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has said he will get clarification from his party leader Gulam Rasool Balyawi over his comment on 30 percent reservation for Muslims in the Indian Army.

Nitish Kumar added that some people have the habit of speaking a lot of things.

"Lot of people have the habit of speaking many things. When I meet him, I will ask him what he has said and why," said Nitish Kumar, reported India Today.

While addressing a gathering at an event organised by Idara-E-Shariya in Nawada, Balywai said that if the Central government was afraid to tackle terrorists from Pakistan, they should enlist 30 percent of Muslims in the Indian Army.
