Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today slammed the Congress for stalling Parliament proceedings, saying the party raised "non-issues" just to hide its own "wrongdoings".

Khattar, who was in Kurukshetra today, said,"Opposition parties are expected to play a constructive role in our Parliamentary system."

He said that Congress President Sonia Gandhi has always been talking about women empowerment, but she herself is "disrespecting" women as she levelled false allegation against Union Minister Sushma Sawraj who is also a daughter of Haryana.

"Congress boycotted her in Parliament and did not let her answer the allegations as they just wanted her resignation which is highly condemnable," he added.
 

Referring to Haryana, the chief minister said that as per the Constitutional arrangements, the Haryana Assembly has witnessed two assembly sessions of present government and during this opposition parties have been given equal opportunity to raise their concern.

He made it clear that BJP would not do the politics of vendetta but would bring all the misdeeds of previous government in front of the people and initiate action as per the law.

Khattar said that during the last 10 months of the BJP government, the State Vigilance Bureau has started probe into 125 cases.

Prominent among these are Kaushalya Dam scam, Shyamlat land scam and scam in allotment of industrial plots in Panchkula, irregularity in the recruitment of HCS officers, MNREGA scam of Ambala, scam of government land in NIT Faridabad.

He said that the previous government has started an "industry" in the name of Change of Land Use (CLU).

The government has received a number of complaints about the issuance of CLUs and facts are being collected and it would soon be made public, he said.

"We have set up a one-man Commission of Inquiry headed by retired judge S N Dhingra to probe the issues concerning the grant of commercial license in Sector 83 (Shikohpur), Gurgaon. The Commission will submit the report in six months," he further added.

Apart from this, the government has also decided to transfer the case to CBI in which the farmers of two villages of Manesar had made a complaint that they were forced by some influential people to sell their 912 acres of land by threatening them to acquire their land, Khattar said.

On being asked about his foreign visit, Khattar said he will be on eight-day visit to USA and Canada.

During his visit, he will woo investors to invest in Haryana. Being its geographical importance, Haryana has a huge potential for investment.
