Regarding the controversial remark made by the education minister Chandrashekhar on Ramcharitmanas, politics in Bihar are still ongoing (Ramcharitmanas Controversy).
Bihar Chief
Minister said that there should not be any kind of controversy in the matter of
religion.
It is
inappropriate for him to discuss religion. The Deputy Chief Minister has also
advised against speaking in this manner.
Religions
of all kinds should be respected. Religious minorities should be given respect. This is our
party's stance.
Tejashwi
Yadav, the deputy chief minister, said it as well.
According to
our party, everyone should belong to the religion they choose. Respect should
be shown to everyone.
No
interference should be made in this. Make any decisions you want to. None of
these statements must be questioned.
There should
be no disagreements about religion. It is a matter of choice. Chief Minister
Nitish Kumar made these remarks in response to Education Minister
Ramcharitmanas's remarks about Ramcharitmanas.
The BJP had
demanded an apology from the state government due to his remarks. The Education
Minister, on the other hand, fired back, saying the BJP should apologise for
being ignorant of facts.
In his
address to students at Nalanda Open University's 15th convocation ceremony
on Wednesday, he claimed that the 'Ramcharitmanas' and 'Manusmriti' divide
society.
Manusmriti
was burned because a large section of it contained numerous abuses.
What element of Ramcharitmanas was challenged, and why?
Lower caste individuals were not permitted to
attend school, and according to the Ramcharitmanas, if a lower caste person
receives an education, they will turn poisonous just like a snake does after
consuming milk, Chandrashekhar had previously stated.
According to
him, older Hindu writings like Manusmriti and the Ramcharitmanas are opposed to
women, other underprivileged groups, and Dalits having an education.
"These
books—Manusmriti, Ramcharitmanas, Guru Golwalkar's Bunch of Thoughts—promote
enmity. The country will become big through love, not through hatred "Added he.
A Janata Dal
(United) MLA from Nitish Kumar's party attacked Chandrashekhar on Sunday,
claiming that the remarks demonstrate his disturbed mental state.
The statement,
according to MLA Sanjeev Kumar, "is really sad" since scripture
teaches us a great deal about our values, way of life, the life of Lord Ram,
and our responsibilities. The JD(U) leader even suggested that the minister
renounce Hinduism or apologise.

A Janata Dal
(United) MLA from Nitish Kumar's party attacked Chandrashekhar on Sunday,
claiming that the remarks demonstrate his disturbed mental state.
Scripture
teaches one a lot about our values, way of life, the life of Lord Ram, and our
obligations, hence MLA Sanjeev Kumar called the statement "very
disappointing."
The minister should apologise or give up Hinduism, the JD(U) leader even opined.
"The
comments made by Chandshekhar on Ramcharitramanas are really regrettable.
I believe he
lacks sufficient knowledge of Ramcharitramanas. Hindu scripture
Ramcharitramanas is closely related to our religion. It discusses our beliefs,
lifestyle, the life of Lord Ram, our obligations, "In a video uploaded to
Facebook, he stated.
Some JD(U)
leaders demanded action against the leader in order to stop the BJP from taking
advantage of the circumstance.
The damage
control recommendation from the coalition partner has not gone over well with
those in the RJD.
Peace if possible, truth at all costs.
