Indore, Mar 11 (UNI) Former Union Minister and BJP leader Yashwant Sinha has described as ''unfortunate'' the statement of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena President Raj Thackeray regarding northern Indians -- especially hailing from Bihar -- residing in Mumbai.

''Such statements foment regionalism,'' he told mediapersons here last evening.

On the murder of outsiders by the United Liberation Front of Asom, Mr Sinha alleged that by initiating dialogue the Centre was presenting an opportunity for the ULFA to be aggressive.

''The ULFA operates at will in Asom and that situation is dangerous,'' he felt.
