BJP MP Ganesh Singh says “Speaking Sanskrit will keep diabetes, cholesterol away”

BJP MP Ganesh Singh on Thursday claimed that as per a
research done by a US-based academic institution, speaking Sanskrit language on
a daily basis boosts the nervous system and keeps diabetes and cholesterol away.

Participating in a debate on the Sanskrit universities bill,
he also claimed that according to a research by US space research organisation
NASA, if computer programming is done in Sanskrit, it will be flawless.

More than 97% of the languages in the world, including few
Islamic languages, are based on Sanskrit, Singh said.

Union Minister Pratap Chandra Sarangi, who spoke in Sanskrit
on the bill, said the language is very flexible and a single sentence can be
spoken in many ways.

Sarangi said the promotion of this ancient language will not
impact any other language.
