Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday said the State Government is continuously working to resolve the issues concerning Safai Karamcharis and has already accepted 12 of their demands. He said matters presently under consideration of the courts cannot be resolved immediately at the government level, and the government will take appropriate action in accordance with the directions issued by the courts.
The Chief Minister was replying in the Vidhan Sabha to a question raised by MLA Vikas Saharan concerning safaikaramcharis. Nayab Singh Saini said Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Vipul Goel has already made a detailed statement in the House on the issue, apprising both the Opposition and the people of the State of the entire situation.
The Chief Minister said such issues have arisen in the past as well and were also prevalent during the Congress regime. Unlike turning away from these concerns, the present government is continuously working towards finding solutions. Despite this, he said, the Congress is trying to politicise the issue.
The Chief Minister said the Opposition has every right to raise any issue in the House and place its concerns before the House. Referring to a Congress MLA speaking to a Safai Karamchari over the mobile phone during the proceedings of the House, the Chief Minister said that the use of a mobile phone for conversation inside the House is not permissible under the rules.
The Chief Minister reiterated that the government is working with urgency to address every issue concerning Safai Karamcharis and said the Congress should not politicise their concerns.
