1 min read 30 May 2023, 07:30 AM ISTBihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar last month slammed self-styled godman, 'Baba Bageshwar' Dhirendra Shastri, for his reported remark of 'Bihar will ignite the 'Hindu Rashtra' fire', and said that his statement has 'no value'.
Premium“Pakistan could be turned into a Hindu nation if the people of Gujarat stay united," said Bageshwar Dham's Dhirendra Shastri while addressing a massive gathering in Surat. “The day people of Gujarat become united like this, not only India but we will also make Pakistan a Hindu nation," he said as quoted by ANI.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar last month slammed self-styled godman, 'Baba Bageshwar' Dhirendra Shastri, for his reported remark of "Bihar will ignite the 'Hindu Rashtra' fire", and said that his statement has 'no value'.
"After fighting the freedom struggle the constitution came into existence and the name given that should be acceptable to everyone...Were all those who are saying this, born during the freedom struggle?... What is the need of saying this? Follow any religion you want. But proposals for renaming are surprising. Is that even possible?" Nitish Kumar said.
"In Bihar, we ensure that everyone gets their right to worship as the way they want, but no one should interfere in each other's faith. If someone is saying something on their own, it has no value," Bihar CM added.
Meanwhile, former Bihar CM and RJD national president Lalu Prasad Yadav when asked about Dhirendra Shastri not being stopped from holding an event in Patna, he said, "Who is Baba Bageshwar? Is he a Baba?", ANI reported.
His son and Bihar Minister Tej Pratap Yadav also slammed Shastri, saying that he doesn't know any such baba but only knows 'Devraha Baba' and his birth also happened with his blessings.
"...This Baba is abusing Biharis and calling them 'pagal'. There's 'Krishna Raj' & 'Mahagathbandhan Raj' in Bihar...This politics is being done to divide the country...," alleged Tej Pratap.
Dhirendra Shastri reportedly made the remark while addressing an event in Patna on Monday, a day after canceling the event 'Divya Darbar' following an unexpected gathering of a large crowd at the venue.
