Haryana minister Anil Vij and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda indulged in a friendly banter that included the BJP veteran breaking into a song, sparking bursts of laughter in the Haryana Assembly on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
During the exchange towards the end of the day’s proceedings, Mr Vij sang in a satirical tone, pointing towards former chief minister Hooda, “‘Humne unko bhi chup-chup ke jaate dekha un galiyon mein…'”.<\/p>\n
As some bills were being passed, Mr Hooda stood up and, referring to a one, told Mr Vij, “You will not understand this.” “‘Tere jaise nahi samajh sakte (people like you wont understand)’,” he said, sparking laughter in the House.<\/p>\n
However, seven-time legislator Mr Vij quickly responded, saying, “Samajh toh mujhe sab aa gaya, mein gane ke madhyam se batana chahta hu (I have fully understood but I want to say this through a song)’.” Mr Vij then broke into a song, “‘Humne unko bhi chup-chup ke’…” “‘Sab pata maine, sab jaanu main (I know everything, I understand everything)’,” Mr Vij said in Haryanvi, pointing towards Mr Hooda, prompting another burst of laughter.<\/p>\n
Mr Hooda then got up and said in a lighter vein, “When Vij will speak, we will put fingers in our ears.”<\/p>\n
Prior to the banter, Mr Vij — who holds the energy, transport and the labour portfolios — said opposition members were suspended from the assembly before passing bills during the Congress government headed by Mr Hooda.<\/p>\n
He also claimed opposition members were not allowed to speak at that time.<\/p>\n
“I have been an MLA for 25 years and seen many bills being passed. I have witnessed Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s tenure as well and saw how bills were passed then… Back then, we were not even allowed to speak,” Mr Vij said.<\/p>\n
Recalling an incident during the Congress government’s tenure, Mr Vij said, “Once, a bill was about to be introduced. The Congress knew I would get up to oppose it. But I decided to remain silent. I didn’t stand up, I didn’t speak. Still, they threw me out of the House!”<\/p>\n
