MALOUT, OCT 1
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today said that despite of being a
border state, Punjab, was today one of the most peaceful state in the country.
Addressing a religious congregation to mark the 90th birth
anniversary of Jain Saint Sri Hem Kunwar Ji Maharaj here today, the Chief
Minister said that the topmost priority of their government from the day one of
assuming office had been to maintain communal harmony, peace and amity in the
state at every cost. He said that the state government has remained successful
in this endeavor with the active support of the people, as no single incident
of communal violence has been registered during the regime of SAD-BJP
government despite of the fact that most of the other states of the country
were facing this problem. Mr. Badal, while reiterating the firm commitment of
the state government to maintain peace and amity in Punjab, said that no one
would be ever allowed to disturb the hard earned peace in the state.
Terming the promotion of communal harmony, peace, amity and brotherhood as the
biggest achievement of the state government, the Chief Minister said that it
has further helped in ushering in a new era of unprecedented development in the
state. He said that due to all these factors, Punjab has today figured amongst
the top three most preferred investment destinations of the country as per the
report of the Reserve Bank of India. Likewise Mr. Badal said that the state was
today leading the country in the fields of Health and Education adding that the
SAD-BJP government would continue to make its concerted efforts to ensure the
holistic development of Punjab.
Lashing out at the Union government, the Chief Minister said that the Congress
led UPA government has ruined the country which was once known as the ‘Golden
Sparrow’ in the world. He said that due to wrong policies of the Union
government the country was confronting a large number of social maladies like
corruption, unemployment, illiteracy and starvation. Mr Badal said that due to
the ill conceived economic policies of the Centre the country’s prestige across
the globe has suffered adversely.
Recalling the services rendered by Sri Hem Kunwar Ji Maharaj in the field of
education, the Chief Minister said that this great spiritual ambassador played
a vanguard role in imparting the education in this backward region by setting a
number of educational institutions. Likewise Mr. Badal also lauded his role in
the service of the mankind.
Later on addressing the gathering at the residence of MLA Malout Mr. Harpreet
Singh, the Chief Minister impressed upon the youth to play a pivotal role in
the smooth functioning of the Panchayti Raj Institutions. Expressing happiness
over the fact that a large number of youth have been elected as the Sarpanchs,
members of Block samiti and Zila Parishad, he hoped that they would work hard
with utmost dedication and commitment for ensuring the comprehensive
development of the villages. Mr. Badal said that the state government was
making stupendous efforts to provide world class civic amenities to the
villages at par with the urban areas so that people of the rural areas could be
benefitted from it.
