Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that restoring Punjab’s economy and ensuring that every citizen feels secure would be the first step towards achieving Ram Rajya as envisioned by Maharishi Valmiki. He urged people to follow Bhagwan Valmiki’s teachings of equality, harmony and compassion and contribute to building a fearless, drug-free and prosperous society.
The Chief Minister was addressing the Vishal Tirth Yatra organised in Jalandhar on Sunday to mark Bhagwan Valmiki Prakatotsav. The Yatra is being undertaken from Jalandhar to Shri Ram Tirth in Amritsar, the sacred site associated with Bhagwan Valmiki’s penance.
Describing Adi Kavi Bhagwan Valmiki as a guide to humanity and a champion of moral values and social justice, the Chief Minister said that the Ramayana presented the life and character of Lord Ram and offered timeless lessons in righteous living, character building and human values.
The Chief Minister said that a responsible government works tirelessly for public welfare, guides young people and ensures an environment of security and justice. When governments fail to honour their promises, leave young people without employment or support, and pursue divisive politics, Maharishi Valmiki’s message of Ram Rajya becomes even more relevant.
Calling for a united fight against drugs and a stronger commitment to social equality and brotherhood, he urged people to work towards making Punjab vibrant, joyful and progressive again. With Bhagwan Valmiki’s blessings, he said, Punjab would overcome its difficulties and regain its position as a leading state.
