Chandigarh, November 22, 2017: Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal today took strong exception to the remarks made by former Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda regarding honouring the new Miss World Ms Manushi Chhillar with a plot and Rs six crore in cash.
Mr Manohar Lal, who was addressing a press conference here today, said that what the former Chief Minister offered was his temperament as his thinking has confined to plots and cash. One should think above all this, he added.
Mr Manohar Lal was all praise for Ms Manushi Chhillar for her significant achievement which has brought laurels to the country. The Chief Minister was more than happy with the reply given by Ms Chhillar to the last question at the Miss World Contest in which she was asked, which profession deserves the highest salary and why? The Chief Minister said that her reply was, “I don’t think it is just about cash. But I think it is about love and respect. All mothers sacrifice so much for their kids. Therefore, I think the profession that deserves the highest salary is that of mothers.”
He said that her reply was in consonance with the highest ethics of Indian culture and tradition, which highly impressed the jury and she bagged the coveted honour of Miss World. Mr Manohar Lal said that he was proud of her thinking and he might see her next week. At that time, he would try to know her area of interest. The Chief Minister said that the government would happily accept whatever office she would like to hold or ask for any incentive or reward or any help, so as to promote her thinking in the State.
