Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini Criticizes Congress for Anti-Dalit Actions
Chandigarh (Haryana) [India], September 24: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini launched a strong criticism against Congress, labeling the party as ‘anti-Dalit’ and accusing them of insulting their leaders. His remarks came a day after Union Minister Amit Shah commented on Rahul Gandhi’s visit, suggesting that the Congress leader spoke of getting away with reservation.
Speaking about Congress, CM Saini said, “The basic character of Congress has always been that it is anti-Dalit. They have always insulted their leaders. If any Dalit leader in Congress rises a little with his hard work, then this has been the character of Congress which is in front of the whole country that it has worked to crush him down.”
Saini also mentioned that during Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s rule from 2009 to 2014, Congress Dalit leaders had spoken against them. Earlier, in a post on X, Saini reminded Dalits of the ‘dangerous’ and ‘violent’ rule of Congress and Hooda. He said, “There is no need to tell the Dalits of Haryana how dangerous and violent was the rule of Congress and Hooda for the Dalits, whose nightmares haunt them even today. In all the cases of Dalit oppression, there was clear connivance or silent support of the Hooda government.”
Saini further asserted that Congress has ‘humiliated’ and ‘despised’ the Dalit leader, Kumari Selja. He said, “In fact, the conduct of Congress is anti-Dalit. They have humiliated and despised everyone from Baba Saheb Ambedkar to Babu Jagjivan Ram, Sitaram Kesari, Ashok Tanwar and now a Dalit woman leader.”
Voting for the 90-member legislative assembly in Haryana will be held on October 5, with votes counted on October 8 along with those in Jammu and Kashmir.
