"Some people are engaged in glorifying Aurangzeb, whereas Aurangzeb destroyed the symbols of our faith." – Energy, Transport & Labor Minister Anil Vij
"The name of Aurangzeb should never be on the lips of a devotee of Bharat Mata, a patriot, or anyone who loves this country." – Vij
"Under the leadership of Narendra Modi Ji, this is a golden era." – Vij
"How can it be believed that the AAP party follows the ideals of great personalities?" – Vij
"Our government has announced MSP for 24 crops." – Vij
"For the first time, such an extensive seating is taking place in the Haryana Assembly session." – Vij
"Our Haryana government is working very seriously on TB eradication." – Vij
Chandigarh, March 24 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport & Labor Minister, Sh. Anil Vij expressed strong displeasure over those glorifying Aurangzeb, and said that "Some people are engaged in glorifying Aurangzeb, whereas Aurangzeb destroyed the symbols of our faith. He can never be a center of trust for us."
Sh. Vij made these remarks while responding to media persons questions today.
He further added that "Anyone who is a devotee of Bharat Mata, a patriot, or a true lover of this country should never have Aurangzeb's name on their lips." Taking a tough stance, Vij said, "Whoever wants to glorify Aurangzeb should first follow his footsteps—imprison their father at home and murder their own brother—then they may glorify him. The name of Aurangzeb should never be spoken by a patriot or someone who loves this nation."
*"Under Narendra Modi Ji’s Leadership, This is a Golden Era" – Vij
When asked about Arvind Kejriwal’s statement comparing the current government to a dictatorship worse than the British rule, Vij responded sharply, said that "Defeated and disgraced figures often have such thoughts. The people have rejected him (Kejriwal), cut his kite, and now he is blaming the golden era ushered in under Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership, which is completely wrong."
*"How Can It Be Believed That AAP Follows the Ideals of Great Personalities?" – Vij
Referring to Kejriwal’s claim that AAP aims to fulfill the dreams of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Vij sarcastically remarked that "Just putting up pictures doesn’t mean you embody their ideals. The behavior of a party and its leaders should reflect those values. AAP has gone against the principles of these great personalities. Did they ever advocate distributing liquor, opening liquor shops, or engaging in corruption? Then how can it be believed that AAP follows their ideals?"
*"Our Government Has Announced MSP for 24 Crops" – Vij
When former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda called the BJP government's promise of MSP for 24 crops false, Vij responded firmly, "Our government has announced MSP for 24 crops. If Hooda Sahib has any additional crops, he should let us know, and we will work on those as well."
*"We Do Not Agree With This; It’s His Personal Opinion" – Vij
Regarding BJP MP Dharamvir’s statement that producing country (desi) liquor would increase farmers' income, Vij distanced himself, stating, "We do not agree with this; it is his personal opinion."
*"For the First Time, Such Extensive Seating is Taking Place in the Haryana Assembly Session" – Vij
When asked about the ongoing budget session, Vij stated that "For the first time, such extensive seating is taking place in the Haryana Assembly session. The Speaker is allowing all members to speak, which is a great example of a healthy democracy. When Congress was in power from 2009 to 2014, I was the leader of the BJP legislative party, and we had to struggle even to speak a few words. We were not allowed to speak and were thrown out of the House. But this time, not a single member has been forced out, and the House is running smoothly."
*"We Have Turned the Impossible Into Possible" – Vij
Regarding development projects, Vij said that "We have turned the impossible into possible. The embankment of Tangri in Ambala was once considered a disaster-prone area. No one could have imagined that a successful project would emerge there. But we have built an 8 km-long road from Majra village to Ghasitpur, installed lights, and initiated the process to widen the road. We have even connected it to the GT Road via an underpass beneath the railway line. Soon, this route will be open, making travel much easier for the people."
*"Our Haryana Government is Working Very Seriously on TB Eradication" – Vij
On the topic of TB eradication, Vij stated that "Our Haryana government is taking TB eradication very seriously. TB centers have been opened in all locations. In Ambala, a modern TB hospital is being established, which will have all necessary facilities. I laid the foundation stone for this hospital when I was the Health Minister, and it will be completed soon. This hospital will benefit not only Haryana but also the neighboring states. Our goal is to completely eradicate TB, and we have set a clear target for this."
