Anil Vij on the deportation of youth by the US
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Haryana’s Energy, Transport, and Labour Minister Anil Vij reacted to the incident in which 50 youths from Haryana were deported from the United States in shackles, saying that those who went to the U.S. through the “donkey route” did not travel through authorized means. He added that the government has formulated a policy to take strict action against agents who send youth abroad illegally.
Vij further said that “If youths are being deported, the process should be carried out humanely. No matter how they went, they are human beings and have human rights.” He added that the government’s goal is to ensure justice for those youths and to prevent such incidents in the future. Vij made these remarks while speaking to media personnel today.
Commenting on the ongoing protests regarding SIR, Anil Vij said that “If the Election Commission is rectifying its records, it is a good thing. If some people are registered in places where they should not be, then the Election Commission’s action is a commendable democratic exercise.”
Assemblies cannot nullify laws passed by Parliament
Responding to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s statement that his government would “throw the Waqf Bill into the dustbin” if it comes to power, Minister Vij said that “Tejashwi Yadav doesn’t seem to understand his own position. No state assembly can nullify a law passed by Parliament. Saying that a law passed by Parliament will be thrown into a dustbin is an insult to Parliament.”
On the demand for a Muslim Chief Minister in Bihar
Reacting to Congress leader Shakeel Ahmad’s demand for a Muslim Chief Minister in Bihar, Vij said that “Anyone can make demands, but only the person who secures the majority of public support can become the Chief Minister.”
NDA will win Bihar elections by a wide margin
Known for his accurate political predictions during the Haryana elections, Minister Anil Vij also predicted that “the NDA will win the Bihar elections by a large margin, and the NDA government will be formed there as well.”
