Team News Riveting
Raipur, August 19
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said nowadays asking questions had become a crime.
“If the appropriate people have been asked questions and if proper reply comes, no one can stop the country from progressing faster,” the Chief Minister said while interacting with the media persons at a function organised by the Raipur Press Club today. Baghel felicitated senior journalists on the occasion.
The Chief Minister said that Vedas and Upanishads had come into existence only by answering the right questions. “It was only because of the emergence of questions that our traditions have progressed and we have reached this height,” he said.
Citing the sloka, Baghel said only in India the tradition exists where the position of Guru had been greater than that of God. And that was because a disciple had all the freedom to ask questions to his Guru so that he could satisfy his curiosity, the Chief Minister said.
Baghel said that today questions were not asked to those who should be asked. “We know that even if Arjuna had not asked questions to Krishna, perhaps even the creation of Gita would not have been possible,” he added.
Asserting a need for a well-equipped and “smart” press club in the capital city, Baghel asked the office bearers of the Raipur Press Club to prepare a project and design a plan.
