Nature punished Kerala through floods; help only those who don’t eat beef: Chakrapani Maharaj

Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 22: In a shockingly shameless statement at the time when people in flood-hit Kerala are trying to normalise their lives, a pro-Sangh Parivar godman has appealed to ‘help only those who do not eat beef’.

The statement by Chakrapani Maharaj at the time of distress has left the Kerala flood victims insulted. Rains, floods and landslides have claimed more than 370 lives in the southern state since May 30 following monsoon rainfall.

The deluge had hit all the 14 districts of Kerala. More than 54.11 lakh people in Kerala were affected due to the massive floods. At a time of such distress when efforts should be made to help those who have lost almost everything in floods, attempts are being made to spark a divide. One such voice is of Chakrapani Maharaj.

“I am also appealing for help in Kerala. But help should be given to those who respect nature and creatures. When roti was available to people in Kerala, they were slaughtering the cow to eat her meat. So, what I mean is that Hindus should provide help to those who avoid cow meat,” Chakrapani told a news agency.

“Those who are trying to hurt the Hindu religion by deliberating eating cow and slaughtering her on the road should not be forgiven.” When media persons confronted the self-styled godman, Chakrapani continued to defend his insensitive ‘don’t help beef eaters’ comment.

He added that the floods in Kerala were caused due to cow slaughtering in the state. Nature punishes those who commit sin on this Earth, said Chakrapani.

He added that the people of Kerala should punish those leaders who slaughtered cows on roads. “Nature punished Kerala through floods and because of some wrong people, innocents have also suffered in Kerala.”

The self-styled godman reiterated that people who eat beef should not receive any help. If they have to be provided for help, they should be asked to sign a pledge that they would never eat beef in the future, he added.

The Centre has already declared the floods in Kerala a "calamity of severe nature". All efforts are being made to help the state in the mammoth task of reconstruction of devastated infrastructure and rehabilitation of lakhs of people. The United Arab Emirates has offered Rs 700 crore relief for the relief and rehabilitation work.
