Haryana: ‘No cure for lies': Saini slams Rahul over voter list allegations
Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday hit back at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his allegations of irregularities in voter list preparations, saying there was 'no cure for lies' and accusing the Congress of having run out of real issues. Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini during the Tiranga Yatra in Kurukshetra on Wednesday. (Photo: X) Speaking to reporters after leading a Tiranga Yatra in Kurukshetra, Saini dismissed the Congress's repeated claims about faulty electronic voting machines (EVMs). 'Congress won 10 seats in Haryana by margins ranging from 100 to 1,000 votes. If the EVMs were faulty, how did they win these seats?' he asked. Cabinet ministers Krishan Lal Panwar and Shyam Singh Rana were also present. Saini urged the Congress not to mislead the public and remarked that party leaders should 'explain the truth to Rahul Gandhi and get him treated.' He further said that despite campaigning under the banner of the Constitution, the INDIA bloc was rejected by voters, who chose Narendra Modi as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term. 'In Haryana too, BJP has formed the government for the third time in a row,' he added. According to the CM, Congress's frustration stems from the BJP's development work and welfare measures such as Ayushman health cards, toilets in every home, ration distribution, and free gas cylinders under the Ujjwala Yojana. 'The party ruled for 55 years, but today it cannot digest the BJP's efforts to uplift the poor,' Saini said. Prajapati community land rights Earlier in the day, Saini chaired a state-level programme in Kurukshetra to distribute land entitlement certificates to families from the Prajapati community. The event was held simultaneously in all 22 districts, benefiting around 1,00,000 families across 1,700 villages. The certificates, issued under the Gram Shamlat Bhumi Niyamwali, 1964, grant the community collective rights to excavate soil, providing legal authority to continue their traditional craft without hindrance. Officials said this will enable artisans to work closer to home, modernise their methods, and enhance product quality to meet market demand. Saini urged the community to integrate traditional skills with new technology and take advantage of government schemes to boost both income and craftsmanship. The announcement fulfilled a promise he made during the Daksh Prajapati Jayanti celebrations in Bhiwani on July 13. Khattar takes part in Tiranga Yatra in Yamunanagar Union power minister and former Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday participated in the 'Tiranga Yatra' here, along with party workers and students of the Maharshi Dayanand University. He also urged the people to stay away from drugs and make their families drug-free. Addressing the gathering at MDU, Khattar appraised the students and teachers about the values, cultures and social concerns of importance in life. He called upon the youths to engage in social responsibilities. Speaking on the National Education Policy-2020, the former Haryana chief minister said that special emphasis has been given on nationalism, practical knowledge and social responsibility in the new education policy. He praised university employees and vice-chancellor Rajbir Singh for taking an initiative to work for a drug -free society.

SC stray dog order decision taken in anger, not viable: Kolkata NGO director
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 14 (ANI): Samrat Mukherjee, honorary director of a Kolkata-based NGO, reacting to the Supreme Court's decision on the relocation of stray dogs, stated on Wednesday that it was a decision 'taken in anger" and 'impossible" to implement from the perspective of animal welfare. Mukherjee argued that housing large numbers of dogs together would risk cross-infection and high mortality, while the logistics and costs involved would be prohibitive. 'It seems that the verdict is a decision taken in anger. This will help neither humans nor dogs…It is difficult to look for places to accommodate 3 lakh dogs…If these 3 lakh dogs are caught within 2 months, what would happen after that? A large area is required to keep them, and doctors would be needed. 1.5-2 lakh staff would be needed. Rs 5 Crore would be needed every week for food. Do we have that kind of money for them? Even if we have that money, there are several other things in the country on which the money can be utilised. So, the order is not viable. Its implementation is very difficult. If you keep so many dogs together, there would be fights and cross-infection. More than half the dogs would die within a week or a week and a half. This is not feasible from the animal welfare point of view," Mukherjee told ANI. Mukherjee said the only humane solution was to capture, neuter, vaccinate, and return the animals to the same location to prevent further breeding. He criticised the Delhi municipal authorities for not following this approach earlier, claiming their failure contributed to the current situation.'This is an opinion of culling dogs. It sounds sophisticated that they would be taken and kept there, but ultimately they would die there…In Kolkata, all NGOs follow the same rule issued by the Government: pick up the dogs, provide them with treatment, neuter them if needed, and then drop them off at the exact same place where they were picked up. This is the rule…This is not the solution. There is just one solution for stray dogs. Catch them, humanely neuter them so that they do not have any offspring. Then release them at the same location. Had Delhi Municipality done this properly earlier, this day would not have come…Even if you catch the 3 lakh dogs, would the space be unoccupied? No. Dogs would come in from surrounding areas, and the area would be covered up once again. But these dogs would not be vaccinated and neutered…" he added. The NGO run by Mukherjee cares for stray and abandoned pet dogs, providing shelter and medical treatment. On Monday, a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said that all localities should be made free of stray dogs and there should not be any compromise. It also made it clear that no captured animal will be released back on the streets. It also ordered contempt proceedings against any individual or organisation that attempts to obstruct the authorities from carrying out the capture drive. 'If any individual or organisation comes in the way of picking stray dogs or rounding them up, we will proceed to take action against any such resistance," said Justice Pardiwala. (ANI)
