Shanta snubs ministers going to Ram Rahim: ‘calls a new low in politics’
Shimla: Former Chief minister and BJP stalwart Shanta Kumar snubbed his own party leader once again for joining the preaching of the convict of rape and murder Ram Rahim.
In a Social media post made by Shanta Kumar on his Twitter page, he did not spare his own party Ministers and politician from visiting the so-called Spiritual Guru who is frequently being released on parole from jail for the purpose of ensuring a vote bank.
Shanta said he never expected such a decline and stopped the ‘low for political leaders’ for electoral gain. Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister and former Union Minister Shanta Kumar said that even in the 21st century, superstition and hunger for power are taking the people and leaders of this country into so much darkness.
Taking Twitter to express his anguish recently Shanta Kumar said” Ram Rahim, convict of rape and murder, sentenced to 20 years, has come on parole and is preaching and blessing son by miracle. If this miracle was true, why couldn’t they hide their guilt from it? Caught raping and murdering. Where was his miracle when he was sentenced to 20 years? He said that even in this age of science some people are getting fooled by superstition. Unfortunately, these include the leaders of the people and even the ministers. In what darkness is the hunger for power and votes taking the leaders? I pray to God to give wisdom to all of them.
Shanta Kumar said that it is a great misfortune to repeatedly grant parole to a criminal serving 20 years of imprisonment for rape and murder. The leaders are also providing this facility to them, only for the sake of power and votes, they said that the law of the country should be changed. Such criminals should not be allowed to decorate their courts and preach on parole like this. Hundreds of more such criminals are in jails, they do not get the facility of parole because politicians do not need them. There are so many followers among such Dera. Prominent among them are followers of Radha Swami, Nirankari mission, Sacha Soda and Satlok Ashram etc.
There are 17 reserve Assembly Constituencies where most of the followers from such Deras have a large presence. During the Himachal Pradesh election Transport Minister of Himachal also sought blessings of Ram Rahim.
Minister Bikram Thakur is now BJP candidate and sitting MLA Jaswan-Paragpur shown in online Satsang that he had a public audience with Ram Rahim. He appeared at the gathering stating that he was a local MLA and minister and came to seek blessings.
” The way you are doing virtuous work in Punjab and Haryana, nothing could be bigger than that. May the people of Himachal have your darshan and keep hearing your thoughts.” On this Ram Rahim also replied, “I have gone to every corner of Himachal. So far 135 Satsangs have been held”.
Kujanwal was a place no one used to go there, I went there too. The people of Himachal Pradesh are very dear, Ram Rahim added. Ram Rahim is serving imprisonment in Rohtak’s Sunaria Jail for sexual abuse and the killing of journalist Chhatrapati and Ranjit incident.
It seems that Minister assisted the government of Haryana as the state’ plays a major role to get releasing Ram Rahim on parole. (UNI)
