Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s 71st birthday was observed across Haryana with a message of service, solidarity, and spirituality. BJP leaders, supporters, and social organisations marked the day by organising blood donation camps, plantation drives, and havans, many of which were dedicated to the victims of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

In Karnal, 153 units of blood were donated. District BJP president Parveen Lather, MLA Jagmohan Anand, Mayor Renu Bala Gupta, and former district president Brij Gupta lauded party members for their contributions.

In Sirsa, BJP leader Gobind Kanda’s camp collected 126 units. “Khattar’s clean recruitment policies and health reforms have earned him the love of people,” said Kanda.

In Ellenabad’s Nathusari Chopta, Haryana Olympic Association president Jasvinder Singh Meenu Beniwal’s “Team Captain” organised a camp and collected 120 units. Donors were gifted helmets to promote road safety — a cause Khattar has championed.

Dera Sacha Sauda contributed significantly with a camp at Shah Satnam Ji Specialty Hospitals, yielding 180 units. In Panipat, a major blood donation drive was held at Arya PG College, coupled with plantation of hundreds of saplings in Manohar Park to underline Khattar’s commitment to environmental causes.

Minister Dr Arvind Sharma led a campaign in Sonepat, where 76 people donated blood at Fountain Chowk, Gohana. In Kharkhoda, over 250 donors participated in an event organised by MLA Pawan Kharkhoda.

Other notable contributions included 101 units in Kaithal, 92 in Pundri, 171 in Dhand, 113 in Siwan, 70 in Ghula, and 71 in Kalayat.

Former Minister Subhash Sudha praised Khattar’s inclusive development vision in Kurukshetra. “He ensured Haryana Ek, Haryanvi Ek,” said Sudha. At Babain, Haryana State Council for Child Welfare vice-president Suman Saini said, “Khattar has ensured merit-based jobs and restored the youth’s faith in governance.”

Former MLA Aseem Goel, attending a camp in Ambala, credited Khattar for ending corruption in recruitment. “He has ushered in transparency in governance,” said Goel.
