Demanding resignation is easy, delivering results is difficult — Dharmendra Pradhan is among the most capable ministers” – Energy Minister Anil Vij

Chandigarh, May 17 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister Sh. Anil Vij strongly reacted to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Sh. Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak case. He said that nowadays, demanding resignations without proper thought has become a “common practice” in politics. It is very easy to stand up and demand someone’s resignation, but the real thing is to prove oneself through work and performance.

Sh. Vij was responding to questions from media persons in Ambala today.

Defending Union Education Minister Sh. Dharmendra Pradhan, Sh. Vij said that he is among the most capable and hardworking ministers in the Central Government. He stated that as soon as the incident came to light, the Central Government immediately initiated action. Investigating agencies are continuously taking action, and the accused are being arrested and sent to jail. He said that the government is taking the matter very seriously and no guilty person will be spared.

Responding to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s remarks questioning Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi’s foreign visits, Sh. Anil Vij said that perhaps Bhagwant Mann does not understand the purpose of the Prime Minister’s foreign tours. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi undertakes foreign visits in the national interest to strengthen India’s international relations, enhance trade, and further strengthen India’s position in the world.

He added that some people comment on foreign visits merely for political reasons, whereas Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working in the interest of the nation. Sh. Vij questioned whether the opposition wants the Prime Minister to stop traveling abroad for strengthening India’s foreign relations and simply sit at home. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken India’s global image to new heights through his leadership.

Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that “this decade is becoming a decade of disasters for the world,” Sh. Anil Vij said that no matter how difficult the challenges may be, the country is in safe hands. He stated that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India successfully faced major challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from this, even during difficult situations under Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister led the country forward with his visionary thinking and strong leadership. Sh. Vij said that even amid current global conditions and war-like situations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fully capable of steering the country safely through every challenge. He expressed confidence that under the Prime Minister’s leadership, India will not only remain secure but will also emerge as an even stronger nation on the global stage.
