Haryana BJP Minister cracked jock over holy Geeta

Kurukshetra, November 19—Though the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) governments are striving to get Geeta the status of national sculpture and introducing into school syllabus, but one of the BJP Haryana Minister surprised every one by making a jock over the holy Geeta, here at Kurukshetra on Thursday.

            Haryana Minister, Narbir Singh, who was speaking as chief guest at the national seminar on the topic of ‘relevance of Geeta in Indian Arts’ at Kurukshetra University campus here today, said that it was his bad luck that he was invited here in the seminar relating to Geeta. He said that the teachings of Geeta go off his head.

            Not only this he raised serious questions over the visit to the land of Geeta. He said that he was being invited to visit Kurukshetra since he became the Minister in Haryana. I was asking why should I come to Kurukshetra? Ten crores Yadavs were killed here and crores of Yadavs were vanished here.

In his speech the Minister seems to have forgotten that this land as called Kurukshetra-Dharamkshetra. And Union government and the state governments are working to make it an international pilgrim tourist destination.

A senior teacher of the University said that the Minister continued to feel uneasy though out the programme. He said that Narbir Singh was some time seen holding his temper and some time rubbing his eyes. Every one in the seminar was stunned by the attitude of the Minister in the seminar on holy Geeta. 

The seminar was organised by the department of Fine Arts, Kurukshetra University and about 250 students and teachers from various universities participated.
