Overview

  • The Speaker’s accepted adjournment motion on public safety led to a prolonged debate in the monsoon session before Congress MLAs exited the House.
  • Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini cited a 2014–2024 decline in key crimes, including murders down 12.75% and dacoities down 49.41%, and reaffirmed a zero-tolerance policing policy.
  • Opposition members, invoking NCRB figures, argued that Haryana’s crime rate and offences against women and children remain high, pressing for fuller scrutiny.
  • Congress MLAs listed recent violent cases and threats, including a Kurukshetra shooting, the killings of Himani Narwal and Nafe Singh Rathee, and warnings reported by Abhay Singh Chautala and Jassi Petwar.
  • The walkout followed the CM’s pointed remarks about the previous Congress tenure, after which he continued his response while the House remained divided on conclusions.
