Choubey asks Brahmins to respect all

Muzaffarpur: Honouring a dozen people from different profession in Muzaffarpur on behalf of Chanakya Vidyapati Society here on Tuesday, BJP MP from Buxar Ashwini Kumar Choubey advised the Bramhins to respect members of every section of society despite provocations from CM Jitan Ram Manjhi, who, he alleged, was spreading casteism in the state for political gains.
Choubey said Bramhanism is not any caste but name of highest level of culture and civilization.He said the Bramhins should remember the contributions of their ancestors. Describing his miraculous escape in the floods in Kedarnath, he said it was because of his prayer to his ancestors that he came out alive from the crumbling temple of Kedarnath in Uttarankhand in 2013.
He called upon all sections of society to help construct toilet in every house in the villages. He administered a pledge to the audience to keep their surroundings and Ganga and other rivers clean. Choubey recalled the creations and contributions of Chanakya and Vidyapati and appealed to the Bramhins to remain united. On a demand from the society for inclusion of a Bramhin from Bihar into Union cabinet, he said he was not at all unhappy over the expansion of Union cabinet recently and said everything will be done by PM Narendra Modi at an appropriate time.
