Refuting allegations of having threatened Gujjars by reminding them of 1947 holocaust, Forest Minister Ch Lal Singh has stated that he had told them that the forests in the state are on fire as the temperature had crossed 47 degrees. He said he never threatened them by saying AK-47 or 1947. What a hilarious analogy to defend himself, reportedly by roping in some sycophants to dilute the controversy (which revolves around magic figure of 47) ?
Is it a matter of pride or shame for a person holding berth in the State Cabinet to be ignorant about the weather conditions in his state, which has not crossed even 45 degrees in Jammu so far this summer, least to speak of 47 degrees?
