Bihar minister snubbed by own as he talks Ramcharitmanas in House again

Hindustan Times  

A day after he defended his controversial statements on Ramcharitmanas amid opposition BJP’s walkout in the state assembly, Bihar’s education minister Chandrashekhar was Tuesday snubbed by the members of his own party RJD and ally JD-U, besides the Chair, when he started his speech in the legislative council with observations on the epic. Bihar education minister Prof. Chandrashekhar interacts with the media outside the Assembly on Tuesday. Giving the government reply on the education department budget, the minister started off with his observations on Ramcharitmanas, citing from a copy he was carrying, and continued despite repeated interjections from Chairman Devesh Chandra Thakur, who asked him to stick to the subject. Earlier, JD-U member Neeraj Kumar said legislature is not the place to discuss religious texts and it would be better if the minister sticks to the larger issue of how a poor state would be able to implement the new education policy, which is posing a challenge to the right to education and opening the gates for digital education and foreign universities.
