Chandigarh, May 3 – Haryana Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi said the Saini community has always had a special identity due to its honesty, diligence and hard work. Descendants of Maharaja Shoorsaini, they are known for their brotherhood and friendly behaviour.
The minister was addressing a Saini Sammelan programme organized in Narwana today.
He said the teachings of Maharaja Shoorsaini, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and Mata Savitri Bai Phule are equally relevant even today and the present government is working dedicatedly towards public welfare by following the ideals given by these great men. Improving the standard of living of the economically and educationally backward people of the society is the commitment of the present government. In this direction, decisions taken by the state government for Antyodaya welfare under the leadership of Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini are initiating new social upliftment.
He said the life values of great men are the living basis for the progress of any society. The state government is walking on the path shown by saints like Sant Kabir, Dr. BR Ambedkar, Guru Ravidas, Sant Dhanna Bhagat and Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. The state government is celebrating the birth anniversaries of all the saints and great men at its own level so that the teachings of saints and sages are propagated in the society and an advanced and civilized society is created.
