“Through his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, Prime Minister Narendra Modi brings the nation face-to-face with India’s achievements and progress” – Vij

Chandigarh, August 31 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport & Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij, today said that “Earlier, the sound of terrorists’ bullets echoed in Kashmir, but today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it is the sound of Kashmiris’ applause while watching cricket matches at night that fills the air.” He added that Prime Minister Modi spread joy in Jammu & Kashmir by abrogating Article 370 and embraced the people of the valley with warmth.

Sh. Vij was interacting with the media persons in Ambala Cantonment’s Sadar Bazar after listening to the 125th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program along with local people and workers.

He said that “It was a historic mistake by the Congress government to impose Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir. Prime Minister Modi corrected this mistake, boosted the morale of sportspersons, and gave a new lease of life to the region, whether through night cricket matches in Kashmir or water sports in Dal Lake. The mention of this in today’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ episode has further motivated athletes.”

Every month, through ‘Mann Ki Baat’, he presents the nation’s achievements and progress across various sectors. He noted that in today’s 125th episode, the Prime Minister expressed condolences for the recent flood disaster and also praised the soldiers, officers, institutions and citizens who stepped forward to help those in distress. “Such appreciation motivates others in society to engage in community service as well,” Vij added.

Prime Minister highlighted solar energy and encouraged people to adopt it – Vij

Speaking further, Sh. Vij said that Prime Minister Modi highlighted the importance of solar energy in today’s episode and urged citizens to adopt it. He explained that the government is already providing subsidies to encourage solar adoption, farmers are being given solar pumps, and households are encouraged to install rooftop solar panels. “For families with an annual income of less than Rs.1.80 lakh, the government provides a subsidy of up to Rs.1.10 lakh for installing two-kilowatt solar connections. Expanding solar energy is the need of the hour, and the Prime Minister has provided both vision and inspiration to achieve this,” Vij said.

He added that Prime Minister Modi also invites suggestions from citizens through each episode, and millions of people actively send him their inputs, making ‘Mann Ki Baat’ a truly participative national dialogue.

“India will not tolerate the insult of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother” – Haryana Energy, Transport & Labour Minister Anil Vij

This is not just an insult to the Prime Minister’s mother, but to every woman, it exposes Congress’s real mindset – Anil Vij

Congress and RJD have dragged politics to such a low that the Prime Minister’s late mother was abused publicly from their stage – Vij

Chandigarh, August 31: Haryana’s Energy, Transport & Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij strongly condemned the derogatory remarks made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late mother from the stage shared by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. Sh.Vij said that “India will not tolerate such an insult. Until Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav apologize to the entire nation by holding their ears in shame, the people of this country will continue their struggle.”

Speaking to media persons during a protest demonstration in Ambala Cantonment, Sh. Vij said that “This is not just about the Prime Minister’s mother.

Sh.Vij further added that “Congress and RJD have brought politics to its lowest point by allowing such abuses from their rally stage. Whether the words were spoken by someone else, the responsibility lies with Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, under whose leadership the rally was organized.
