The Chief Minister's Office said the statement has been "spread after cutting it in half"
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, whose government has landed in multiple controversies over the use of force on protesting farmers, has been accused of publicly advocating strong-arm tactics by the opposition Congress. The video, in circulation on social media and cited by the Congress, shows Mr Khattar speaking of raising volunteer groups, which, he said, can administer "tit for tat" treatment. अगर प्रदेश का मुख्य मंत्री ही हिंसा फैलाने, समाज को तुड़वाने और क़ानून व्यवस्था को ख़त्म करने की बात करेंगे, तो प्रदेश में क़ानून और सविंधान का शासन चल ही नही सकता।आज भाजपा के किसान विरोधी षड्यंत्र का भंडाफोड़ हो ही गया।ऐसी अराजक सरकार को चलता करने का समय आ गया है। pic.twitter.com/kSgk8kiCUx
The Chief Minister's Office said the statement has been "spread after cutting it in half".
"If you watch this full video, you will understand what he said. During an internal meeting of BJP workers, the Chief Minister has talked about the workers being in discipline and strongly opposed to any wrongdoing. The Chief Minister said that work has to be done with zeal, keeping consciousness and discipline," the statement in Hindi read.
"There are some new farm groups which have emerged recently. We have to support them," Mr Khattar is heard saying in the video.
