Haryana Government on Wednesday offered to make all arrangements to settle the people of nomadic tribes at one place in the State, if they desire so. “We respect their feelings for Maharana Pratap, whom they believe to be their descendant and offer to settle them at one place in Haryana”, said Chief Minister Manohar lal while speaking at Maharana Pratap Jayanti Samaroh organised in Karnal on Wednesday
In the 21st century, the face of society has completely changed. In order to sustain the culture of nomadic tribes, the people of the tribes should settle down at one place, said Manohar lal while making an appeal to the people of ‘Kshatriya Samaj’ to help in convincing the nomadic tribes.
The Chief Minister also promised to meet the demands made by the people of 'Kshatriya Samaj’ in a phased manner. These include construction of Prithviraj Chauhan monument at Trawadi, setting up of Maharana Pratap chair at Kurukshetra University, a playground for Maharana Pratap School at Karnal and opening of post-graduate courses in Government College for girls, Gharaunda.
He also announced to waive off the interest and fine imposed by Haryana Urban Development Authority on the Maharana Pratap Bhawan in Sector 8 of Karnal, as the Bhawan is meant for social activities. The Chief Minister also paid floral tributes to Maharana Pratap.
“I had got an opportunity to contest Haryana Vidhan Sabha elections from Karnal about seven months ago in which the people of Karnal, including people of the 'Kshatriya Samaj’, supported me and ensure my victory with over 65,000 votes. The State Government is committed to the development of every section of the society,” he added.
