Energy Minister Anil Vij Advises Cockroach Janata Party: “Struggle, But Change Your Name”*
*Vij Hits Back at Hooda’s Allegations, Says Congress Avoids Debate in the House*
*Congress Is More Concerned About Headlines Than Issues: Anil Vij*
Chandigarh, June 7 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij, referring to his recent comment on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), said that in a democracy every individual has the right to struggle and express his or her views. In this context, he advised the office-bearers of the Cockroach Janata Party, saying, “This is a democracy—everyone has the right to struggle, but you should change your name.”
Sh. Vij had written in his post: “Cockroach is the name of a very filthy insect. Even a small child crushes it with a slipper on seeing it. Struggle if you wish—everyone has that right in a democracy—but change your name.”
Sh. Vij was responding to questions from media persons today.
Replying to a question regarding the statement made by Haryana Leader of Opposition Sh. Bhupinder Singh Hooda about not convening a session of the Assembly, Sh. Vij said that when Assembly sessions are held, Congress members do not participate seriously, and when government ministers or the Chief Minister begin responding, they walk out of the House.
Taking a swipe at Congress, Sh. Vij said that “The Congress party is making a mockery of democracy. They have nothing substantial to say. Their only concern is publicity. They just want their names to appear in newspapers, whether the coverage is positive or negative.”
Responding to a question regarding the arrest of Sh. Deepender Singh Hooda, Sh. Vij said that “Why would we target them? Maintaining law and order and protecting life and property is the responsibility of the agencies concerned.” He further remarked that it is because of the actions and conduct of the opposition that the people of Haryana continue to elect his party to power.

Minister Vij said that blood donation is one of the greatest services to humanity and serves as a means of giving a new lease of life to those in need.
Sh. Anil Vij said that when a person is struggling between life and death, every single drop of blood becomes invaluable. Blood cannot be produced in any factory, nor can it be artificially manufactured. It is a priceless gift that one human being can give to another, capable of saving lives and offering a new beginning.
Appealing to people to donate blood in large numbers, he said that a single unit of blood can prove to be life-saving for someone in need. Therefore, every healthy citizen should actively participate in this noble cause. Blood is a precious gift of life that can only be passed from one person to another. A voluntary blood donation can restore someone’s heartbeat, preserve a family’s hopes, and bring new light into a person’s life. Hence, blood donation is not merely a social responsibility but one of the highest forms of service to humanity.

Vij was addressing a blood donation camp organized by the Sant Nirankari Charitable Foundation Trust at the Sant Nirankari Bhawan, Race Course Road, Ambala Cantonment, where he attended as the Chief Guest.

The Energy Minister appreciated the Sant Nirankari Charitable Foundation Trust for organizing the blood donation camp every year. He said that the selfless service being rendered by the Trust in the interest of humanity is exemplary and worthy of emulation. The social and religious initiatives undertaken by the Nirankari Mission inspire others as well. He emphasized that blood donation is the greatest donation of life and every healthy individual should donate blood. Through blood donation, invaluable lives can be saved. He further stated that blood can only be supplied through the human body and there is no alternative source of blood.
On this occasion, Sh. Navtej Sethi, President of the Sant Nirankari Charitable Foundation Trust, Ambala, welcomed the Cabinet Minister and informed that the Sant Nirankari Mission has been continuously serving humanity through blood donation campaigns since 1986. So far, more than 9,174 blood donation camps have been organized across the country, collecting approximately 1.5 million units of blood, making it one of the largest voluntary blood donation movements in India.
