Haryana’s Energy, Transport, and Labor Minister Sh. Anil Vij took a dig at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, saying, "The world is advancing, and Kharge ji wants to take the country back to the Stone Age.
Decisions in the Stone Age were made with stones. Kharge ji is talking about regressing." He also mocked the Aam Aadmi Party, stating, "They have their own set of rules, and they should not even attempt to pronounce the word ‘constitution.’"
Vij’s remarks came in response to media questions about Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement on Constitution Day, where Kharge had said, "We don’t want EVMs; we want voting through ballot papers." Vij sharply reacted to this, pointing out Kharge’s preference for outdated methods.
When asked about farmers’ renewed plans to march to Delhi and Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s statement of support, Vij remarked, "Hooda only incites and misleads. Not once has he visited the farmers to inquire about their situation.
In Punjab, the INDI alliance is in power, yet neither the Chief Minister of Punjab nor Bhupinder Singh Hooda has visited the farmers. They have made no effort to explain things to the farmers. Meanwhile, the public is suffering greatly.
If they had resolved the issue, the roads would have been cleared, and the public would not be inconvenienced." Regarding Punjab Police detaining farmer leader Dallewal and Surjit Singh Hardo going on a hunger strike, Vij commented, "That’s a matter for the Punjab Police.
Let’s see what they do next." Reacting to Arvind Kejriwal’s statement, "When God realized that the Constitution was in danger, He created the Aam Aadmi Party on Constitution Day," Vij criticized, saying, "Kejriwal’s party neither respects the Constitution nor the courts nor autonomous bodies. They have their own set of rules and should not even try to pronounce the word ‘constitution.’"
