Encouraging the youth to inculcate the teachings, philosophy and ideology of Bhagwan Parshuram, Haryana Chief Minister on Sunday said that the State government is moving forward with the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas’. The teachings, philosophy and ideology of Bhagwan Parshuram are needed to build a Viksit Bharat and Haryana, he said, while calling on the citizens to adopt truth, dedication, and religion in their lives to create a prosperous nation and state.
Saini, addressing a programme in Panchkula on the occasion of Bhagwan Parshuram Janmotsav, said that this day is not just a cultural and religious celebration but also a symbol of India’s great Sanatan tradition, reflecting the win of dharma over adharma; and Bhagwan Parshuram is the flag bearer of the battle against injustice.
“As we move forward with the resolve to build a Viksit Bharat and Viksit Haryana, the ideals and messages of Bhagwan Parshuram ji guide us in the right direction. He spent his life fighting against injustice and took up arms only for the protection of society and religion,” he said.
He added that the philosophy of Bhagwan Parshuram for the religion is still relevant today. The youth should take inspiration from his life and realise that with knowledge, determination, and patriotism, any goal can be achieved. “Thus, to inspire the new generation with his teachings and ideals, the Government has decided to name the upcoming medical college in Kaithal after him. Besides, a gazetted holiday will be observed on Bhagwan Parshuram’s birth anniversary. The Government has also allotted land on lease for the Gaur Brahmin College in Pehrawar village,” he said.
During the event, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said that UP’s 25 crore people stand firmly with the people of Haryana.
Haryana Co-operation and Tourism Minister Dr Arvind Kumar Sharma said that the Chief Minister Saini will work for the welfare of economically weaker sections. “Chief Minister is man of his words, thus he will fulfil every promise he makes,” he said.
Rajya Sabha MP and event organizer Kartik Sharma added that Saini is a “non-stop Chief Minister”, always working tirelessly and available for his people around the clock.
