Ambala (Haryana) [India], January 28 (ANI): Haryana Minister Anil Vij has responded to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s allegations that the Haryana government is “poisoning” the Yamuna water, accusing them of failing to clean the river.
Speaking to ANI, Vij stated, “It is Kejriwal’s old habit to blame others for his weaknesses. For 10 years you (AAP) have been in power, you should have cleaned Yamuna. You are saying that dirty water is coming from Haryana, so make a team of international experts and get water quality checked at Sonipat and Okhla. It will become clear who is responsible.”
He further emphasized that it is not Haryana’s responsibility to clean Delhi’s pollution, saying, “Haryana will not clean Delhi’s filth. It was Kejriwal’s job but he has failed in his job.”
He also commented on the the 30-day parole to self-styled godman & Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh saying, “Parole is granted as per the laws. It is not granted to anyone just like that.”
Meanwhile, Vij also criticized Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s recent remarks about the Kumbh, calling them an insult to the Hindu religion.
Vij stated, “Congress Party President Mallikarjun Kharge ji, who after 144 years organised Maha Kumbh at Sangam Tirtha Sthan, insulted the Hindu religion by taking a dig at those who organised the Kumbh.”
He emphasized that religion is a matter of personal faith and people are free to follow rituals in their own way. “Religion is a matter of faith, some pray towards the East and some pray towards the West. Our Constitution allows us to perform the rituals of our religion in our own way,” Vij said. He further demanded that Kharge apologize to the Hindu community, saying, “Arjun Kharge ji ko saarey Hindu Samaaj se kaan pakad kar maafi maangni chahiye.”
Vij also addressed Kharge’s comments on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stating, “RSS is the biggest nationalist organization of this country. Mr. Kharge, it is not right to comment while standing from a distance. If you want to understand RSS, then go and attend the ‘Shakha’ for a few days.” (ANI)
