Government Continuously Working to Resolve Issues of  Safai Karamcharis  – Chief Minister

*12 Demands  Accepted, Government to Act in Accordance with Court Directions in Matters under Judicial Consideration – Chief Minister*

*Opposition Has Every Right to Raise Issues in the House, but Congress Should Not Politicise Safai Karamcharis' Concerns – Chief Minister*

Chandigarh, September 1 – Haryana Chief Minister Sh. 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 Sh. Vikas Saharan concerning safaikaramcharis.

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Sh. 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. The government is always prepared to respond to every legitimate issue and work towards its resolution.

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. If a Member needs to make or receive a phone call, the Member may do so outside the House. He said all Members are expected to uphold the rules, decorum and dignity of the House.

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.
