The Chief Minister, while addressing the gathering after laying foundation stone of state of art Bhagwan Parshuram Taposthal here today, said that this state of the art research centre will showcase the message of these three epics. He said that since ages these epics have been source of life and inspiration for entire humanity adding that this research centre will act as a catalyst for disseminating the message of these epics amongst the masses in simplest form. CM Channi said that the state government is trying to rope in respected Shankaracharya ji for this ambitious project.

Evoking the example of Mahabharat to make a scathing attack on the Akalis, the Chief Minister said that the Kauravas were ruined due to puttar moh (love for son) of King Dhritraashtra. In the same manner he said that Akalis are in shambles due to the love of Akali stalwart Parkash Singh Badal for his son. CM Channi said that Mahabharat is a treatise regarding the statecraft and is still relevant today adding that poor situation of Akali Dal is an example of it.
Slamming Aam Aadmi Party Supremo Mr Arvind Kejriwal for little knowledge about state, Chief Minister said that Delhi Chief Minister is groping in dark for fulfilling his lust of power. He said that besides being an outsider Kejriwal is a rumour monger who knows nothing about state but pokes his nose in every thing. CM Channi said that such type of cheap politics will never be successful in the state.
The Chief Minister said that he was fortunate that Congress leadership has bestowed him this service to serve the state.

CM Channi said that not only this but several other path breaking decisions will be taken in coming days too.
Paying tributes to Lord Parshuram ji, the Chief Minister exhorted the people to imbibe the ideals propagated by Bhagwan Parshuram ji, so that justice and equality is ensured in the society. He said that Bhagwan Parshuram ji stood for protecting the basic tenets of religion, truth, universal love, compassion and righteousness. CM Channi said that life and philosophy of Bhagwan Parshuram ji teach us that irrespective of our caste, religion and profession, we should fight injustice with all our might.
