Summary:
CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government led by chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar has turned to "babas," to make the villages "adarsh (ideal), sanskarwan (well-cultured) and tanavmukt (stress-free). "Impatience, physical deformities and other problems in the society are rising because people are running away from Gita. He added that only Gita can inculcate cultural values in a child.He also appealed to the gathering that besides Gita, they should also respect cow, Ganga and Gayatri mantra. He disconnected the phone, saying that lecture had been organized by the Haryana Sanskrit Academy and Bhiwani deputy commissioner Anshaj Singh was the chief guest at the event.Criticizing the event, former Haryana bureaucrat and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) national secretary R S Chaudhary said immediate action should be taken against the Bhiwani DDPO and DC because only a government official can address an official gathering. "Calling an official meeting for a religious guru to deliver his lecture is gross misuse of official machinery," he added.Ran Singh Maan, former chief parliamentary secretary and Congress spokesperson, said, "Unfortunately, instead of focusing on public administration, the government is focusing on imposing saffron ideology on the public representatives and government officials.".
