Minister praises rape-convict Asaram over Matru-Pitru Divas
Gujarat Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasma has written a congratulatory message to a yoga ashram run by rape-convict Asaram's organisation for observing February 14 as "Matru-Pitru Pujan Divas" (Mother-Father worship day). After the Congress termed the letter as "unfortunate", saying it "shows the nexus between BJP and godman", Chudasma clarified, "All I have done is sent best wishes."
