Both ruling, Opposition will work together in House: VS Speaker Kalyan

Haryana Vidhan Sabha Speaker Harvinder Kalyan reiterated his commitment to upholding the integrity of his role as Speaker, emphasising on leading the Assembly impartially and collaboratively with both the ruling party and the Opposition. “Members of both the ruling and opposition parties will be given equal opportunities for highlighting the issues to their Assembly segments and state. We will train the first-time legislators and 13 women legislators by conducting orientation and training sessions to equip them with knowledge needed for comprehensive discussion and effective lawmaking, which will strengthen the Assembly’s capacity to address the pressing issues in the state,” said Kalyan on the sidelines of a welcome programme at the party’s district office, ‘Karna Kamal’. He was given a warm welcome at Nilokheri, Karnal and Gharaunda during his first visit in the district after being elected as Speaker. BJP MLAs Jagmohan Anand from Karnal, Yoginder Rana from Assandh, and Bhagwan Das Kabirpanthi from Nilokheri along with district president Brij Gupta, former minister Shashipal Mehta and other senior leaders welcomed Kalyan.

While interacting with mediapersons, Kalyan expressed gratitude for the welcome the party workers gave him and praised their dedication towards the party. He also thanked the members of the Assembly for electing him as the Speaker.

On being asked about the celebration of Haryana Day on November 1, Kalyan highlighted the significance of this day for the state and shared that the celebrations would be held with great zeal and enthusiasm.

In a reply to a question related to stubble burning, Kalyan highlighted the importance of responsibility towards environment. He emphasised, “We all need to be serious about environment, as any form of pollution—whether air or water pollution—affects both atmosphere and water quality. The kind of environment we create today is the one we and future generations, will have to live in.”
