Chandigarh (Balwinder Singh): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on October 20 urged people to use Vijayadashami as an opportunity to overcome personal and social evils, saying that burning Ravana’s effigy should be accompanied by a commitment to eliminate arrogance, dishonesty, hatred, discrimination, addiction and corruption.
Saini was speaking at the Burai Se Achhai Ki Ore (From Evil Towards Goodness) event organised by the Sanatani Yuva Foundation in Rohtak on the occasion of Dussehra. He extended Vijayadashami greetings to the people of Haryana and praised the organisers for arranging the programme.
The chief minister said the festival symbolises the victory of good over evil, righteousness over unrighteousness and justice over injustice. He added that power should be used to end oppression and establish justice, rather than promote arrogance or tyranny.
During the event, Saini watched a presentation depicting the story of Lord Ram using 300 drones, presented by the team associated with the film Hanuman Ansh. He also witnessed the burning of the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna and Meghnad.
CM Says Ram Rajya Means Dignity, Justice And Equal Opportunities
Explaining his vision of Ram Rajya, Saini said it should mean a society where poor people are treated with dignity, vulnerable sections receive justice, women and girls feel safe, and young people have equal opportunities to progress without discrimination.
He also said the benefits of government schemes and good governance should reach the last person in society.
According to the chief minister, the message of Dussehra extends beyond the traditional story of Lord Ram defeating Ravana. He cited the defeat of Mahishasura by Goddess Durga and the teachings of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita as examples of the enduring struggle against injustice and wrongdoing.
Saini said the challenges of the present day include not only dishonesty and corruption but also hatred, substance abuse and discrimination against girls. He urged people to reflect on these issues in their own lives.
Saini Recalls Ram Temple Inauguration In Ayodhya
The chief minister also referred to the Ram temple in Ayodhya, describing it as the fulfilment of a centuries-long aspiration for millions of devotees. He said generations had waited for the construction of the temple and credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership for helping realise that dream.
Saini said Haryana’s development was important to achieving the broader goal of a developed India. He added that fulfilling promises made to the people of the state remained a government priority and that work on the remaining commitments was continuing.
Sanatani Yuva Foundation Event Held In Rohtak
