Scathing attack by Energy Minister Anil Vij on Ajay Chautala: says, “They have lost faith in India’s democracy and are now trying to incite the youth.”

Big statement by Anil Vij: “We should have no association with a country that commits atrocities against Hindus; buying a Bangladeshi player for KKR is wrong.”

*Amid cold winds, Energy Minister Anil Vij hummed a song: “gardish mein ho taare, na ghabaraana pyaare.”

Chandigarh, January 2 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport, and Labour Minister Sh. Anil Vij strongly reacted to the statement of JJP chief Ajay Singh Chautala, in which Chautala said that rulers would have to be dragged off their thrones, chased on the streets, beaten, and forced to leave the country. Sh.Vij said that “Ajay Chautala’s statement suggests that he has no faith in India’s democracy. He has lost confidence in his own political party, and that is why he is trying to incite the youth. He has raised his hands in surrender, saying nothing is in his control anymore, and is now provoking others.”

While intracting with media persons today on reacting to the purchase of Bangladeshi players by Shah Rukh Khan’s IPL team KKR, Haryana Energy Minister Anil Vij said that “What Bangladesh is doing to us—there are daily reports of atrocities against Hindus. Deepu was tied to a tree and burned alive. We should not have any kind of relationship with such a country. If some people have bought players from there, meaning they have helped them financially, that is very wrong.”
