CM supports Anil Vij after he accuses officials of obstructing dept works

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij, who also holds the portfolio of Education Ministry, seems to be in an angry mood. Vij has stated that he has come to know that some officers are obstructing his departmental works to please Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. CM Khattar has spoken in favour of Vij. He said, “As if I and CM are against each other. They are very badly mistaken for me. Me and the Chief Minister are good friends. Officers playing this dirty game will have to suffer heavily for this.” Before this, Vij had been engaged in a long drawl tussle with the CM Khattar, DGP Manoj Yadava along with some other officials about many issues.

The information issued officially by Vij indicated that few of the officials of the state continue to annoy him which made him utter the above.

Following the same, when Vij was asked about the issue and in reaction, he said that time he is unable to say anything about the task force as the matter is not in his notice. Thus the whole matter resulted in a clash between these both

Regarding the issue, CM Khattar has taken Vij’s side and openly stated that a stern action would be taken against those officials who are obstructing the works of the department. Therefore, the problems of such officials seem to be increasing. When asked about this, CM Khattar said that does not want to say anything more than what he has already said.
