Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today participated as the chief guest in the Pran Pratishtha and Unveiling Programme of 31-feet high Panchmukhi Hanuman Ji at SRM College Campus, village Bhurewala, in Ambala district on the occasion of Shri Hanuman Janmotsav.

On this occasion, the Chief Minister congratulated and wished everyone on Hanuman Janmotsav and wished for the happiness, prosperity and well-being of the people of the state.

He said today is a day of pride and glory for all of us. We all know that Hanuman Ji selflessly served Lord Shri Ram as a servant. When Laxman fell unconscious during the battle between Laxman and Meghnath, at that time Hanuman Ji brought Sanjivani booti and gave him life.

He said for years, there was a legal dispute going on in Ayodhya regarding Ram Janmabhoomi, which was resolved through legal process and under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, a grand and divine temple of Lord Shri Ram was built in Ayodhya, which is a matter of pride and glory for all of us. He said religion and politics are synonymous with each other. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, religious places are being renovated while preserving our ancient culture and heritage.

The Chief Minister said in the last 10 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, the government has worked to restore our ancient culture and heritage which is disappearing. The corridor of Lord Kashi Vishwanath, Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple Corridor in Ujjain, crores of people taking a holy dip in Prayagraj Maha Kumbh, renovation of Shri Kedarnath Dham in Uttarakhand and opening of Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in Pakistan are prominent.

Similarly, the Haryana Government has also renovated many pilgrimage sites on the holy land of Kurukshetra, where Lord Shri Krishna gave the message of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.

He said the present government is continuously working in accordance with the vision of great men and following the path shown by them, keeping in mind the welfare of the poor. Under the Ayushman Card Scheme, the needy people have been provided the facility of free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh.

In Haryana also, under the Ayushman/Chirayu Card Scheme, about 20 lakh people have been given the benefit and an amount of Rs 2200 crore has been spent under the scheme.

He said under the leadership of the Prime Minister, work has been done to provide housing facilities to 4 crore people in the country. At the same time, in Haryana also, work is being done to identify the needy persons and provide housing facilities as per the scheme.

The Chief Minister said on the occasion of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar's birth anniversary, the Prime Minister is coming to Hisar and Yamunanagar on April 14 and he will give a big gift to Haryana on this occasion.

These include the launch of air services from Maharaja Agrasen Airport in Hisar and laying the foundation stone of the 800 MW super critical unit in Yamunanagar. He invited everyone to attend the Prime Minister's visit to Haryana and called upon them to reach in maximum numbers.

He said the Prime Minister has a vision of making India a developed nation by 2047, and we have to contribute to that vision by developing Haryana.

The Chief Minister also visited the Namo Ayurveda Hospital and Wellness Centre built in the college. The Chief Minister honoured sculptor Sant Kumar, who made the statue of Shri Hanuman ji, by giving him a memento.

During the programme, the organizer and world famous bhajan singer Kanhaiya Mittal also congratulated everyone on Hanuman Janmotsav. Former Assembly Speaker Sh. Gian Chand Gupta and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
