"Babar is dead, and Babri Masjid too is history" — Energy Minister Anil Vij responds strongly to MLA Humayun Kabir’s remarks
“Islam does not believe in rebirth; those who lack knowledge of their own religion cannot change the principles of Islam” – Anil Vij
Chandigarh, November 29 — Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij today has sharply criticized Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir over his statement on building a new Babri Masjid. Responding strongly, Sh.Vij said that “Babar is dead, and Babri Masjid too is dead.”
Speaking to media persons today, Sh.Vij reiterated that “Babar is no more, and Babri Masjid is no longer in existence.” He further stated that Islam does not believe in the concept of rebirth, whereas the belief is rooted in Hindu philosophy alone.
“If they talk about creating something as a ‘rebirth’ of Babri Masjid, they will have to change the very rules and doctrine of Islam itself,” Vij asserted. Taking a sharp jibe at Kabir, he remarked that“Such statements are made by those who do not even have proper knowledge of their own religion.”

Modern Transport Infrastructure Expands in Ambala — Energy & Transport Minister Anil Vij Gifts Major Facility to Commuters
23 New Bus Queue Shelters — Equipped with Seating, Fans, Electricity & Digital Information Systems
Mobile App to Provide Real-Time Bus Location — No More Uncertain Waiting
Chandigarh, November 29 — Haryana’s Transport Minister, Sh. Anil Vij, said that commuters in Ambala Cantonment will no longer have to wait for buses while standing in dust and discomfort. Prioritizing passenger convenience, the government is constructing 23 ultra-modern bus queue shelters across the city. These shelters are equipped with fans, lighting, ample seating arrangements, and display boards showing bus timings — ensuring complete comfort for passengers. Sh. Vij inaugurated one such newly built bus queue shelter near Civil Hospital, Ambala Cantonment today and termed the move as a significant benefit for the public.
Speaking with media representatives, he said that for the last 25 years, local buses did not have proper designated stops, forcing people to wait under adverse conditions. “Now, with these enhanced transport facilities, a new era of smooth and safe travel has begun,” he said. He informed that currently, 25 local buses are operating, out of which 15 are electric buses, and some mini buses are also in service. Every queue shelter now displays a bus timetable, and buses have been strictly instructed to halt only at these designated stops.
The Transport Minister further said that a GPS-based tracking system will soon be active in all buses. Passengers will be able to track the exact location and arrival time of buses via a mobile application. Major bus stops will soon feature airport-style digital display boards providing live bus movement updates. He sternly added that strict action will be taken if any bus stops anywhere other than designated shelters.
Sh. Vij shared that the entire project, costing Rs.2.16 crore, has advanced rapidly due to his efforts. Five bus queue shelters have already been completed, while the construction of the remaining ones is progressing swiftly.
Locations where Bus Queue Shelters are being constructed
Shelters have already been completed at Capital Chowk, Civil Hospital Chowk, Subhash Park, Babiyal, and Boh. Soon, shelters will also be operational at Chungi Chowk, Tundla, Defence Colony, Kalrehri, Shastri Colony, DRM Office, Sunder Nagar, Chandpuri Colony, Machhonda, Shahpur, BD Flour Mill, Hathikhana Mandir, Rangia Mandi Chowk, Nanhera, SD College, Mahesh Nagar, Tangri Bandh Mod, and Dalipgarh.

“Women Safe, Goons Tamed”: Energy Minister Anil Vij Commends Ambala Cantt SHO for Action Against Eve-Teasing Accused
Chandigarh, November 29 — Haryana’s Energy, Transport & Labour Minister Anil Vij has praised the strong action taken by the Ambala Cantonment Police in a recent case where a young girl was harassed while returning home from her coaching centre and her parents were later assaulted by the same miscreants.
Speaking to the media persons during a programme today, Minister Vij patted SHO Surender of Ambala Cantt Police Station on the back and said that he deserves full appreciation for setting a strong example with his prompt and impactful action.
“Goondaism will not be tolerated in Ambala Cantonment,” Sh. Vij asserted that “Women and girls must feel completely safe to travel anywhere at any time — whether to their workplace or home. If anyone dares to engage in hooliganism here, our police will not spare them,” he said.
It is noteworthy that during a recent public grievance hearing, the victim girl and her family had submitted their complaint before Minister Vij, after which he directed Ambala Cantt Police to take strict action. Acting on these directions, the police on Friday apprehended five accused individuals, including one history-sheeter. Their heads were shaved as part of public disciplinary action and they were paraded through the local market streets, following which the police conducted a spot inspection at the incident location.
