Opposition spreading lies to create ruckus in Assembly: Haryana CM Nayab Saini

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday accused the Opposition of “deliberately trying to create controversies” in the Assembly, but asserted his government was prepared for detailed discussions on every issue.

Addressing party workers at a function in Patak Majra village, the CM said, “The Opposition today, in the Centre and states, has no issues left. In such a situation, the Congress is spreading lies. The people of the country have completely rejected the Congress. Similarly, after Delhi, the people of Punjab are also ready to teach a lesson to the AAP.”

The Chief Minister also announced a grant of Rs 21 lakh for development projects in the village.

Later, while speaking at the Krishna-Kashyap Kurukshetra Tirthatan-2025 organised by the Kashmiri Hindu Prakosth at the Gita Gyan Sansthanam, Saini underlined the deep cultural bond between Kurukshetra and Kashmir. He said the state government was committed to promoting the cultural and ideological heritage of Kashmiri Hindus.

Recalling the 1990 displacement, he said, “Lakhs of Kashmiri Hindus were displaced, but they never abandoned their karma. Their knowledge and determination established them on the global stage. Prime Minister Narendra Modi understood their pain and has created unprecedented schemes for the displaced. Under his leadership, many important steps have been taken for their rehabilitation.”

The CM said nearly two lakh Kashmiris were living in Haryana and contributing significantly to the state’s development.
