TIL Desk/National/Begusarai/ Union minister Giriraj Singh has stoked a fresh controversy alleging that children who study in missionary schools lack “sanskaar” and end up in practices like “beef-eating” when they go abroad. Addressing a religious function at his Lok Sabha constituency here, the firebrand BJP leader also advocated, as an antidote, teaching of “shlokas” of Bhagvad Gita and the verses Hanuman Chalisa at private schools.
“I would like to say to people present here, this practice should start from the private schools since at government-run ones, we run the risk of inviting accusations of imposing the bhagwa (saffron) agenda”, Singh said. At private schools, students should be taught shlokas of Bhagvad Gita and Hanuman Chalisa.
“I say this because it has been seen that at schools run by missionaries, children from well-off families excel academically, go on to have successful careers, but when they go abroad they eat beef. Why so? This is because we have not inculcated sanskaar into them”, the Union minister said.
