'Will put you on Chandrayaan 4 and...': Haryana CM to woman seeking jobs, as per Congress

Amid the euphoria over Chandrayaan 3's Moon landing, the Congress party accused the BJP government in Haryana for an allegedly insensitive remark.

Congress leaders shared a video online claiming that it showed the Haryana Chief Minister rebuking a woman for seeking a factory in her neighbouring village.

Congress claimed that CM Manohar Lal Khattar said to the woman that the next time India sends a spacecraft to the moon, she will be made to sit in it.

The Opposition party said that Khattar was displaying an anti-women mindset.

In an unverified video which went viral, the woman is heard asking for setting up a factory in her neighbouring village of Bhatol Jattan so that it can generate employment opportunities for women.

In response to this, in the video clip, Khattar is heard purportedly saying, "Agli baar chaand ke upar ek aur jo jayega na Chandrayaan-4, usme bhejenge. Baith jao. (next time you will be sent to the moon on Chandrayaan-4. Sit down)".

The venue of the public gathering is not clear in the video clip. Khattar is currently in Hisar district as part of his Jan Samvad programme.

The short video clip was shared online by some Congress and AAP leaders from the state.

Senior Congress leaders Randeep Singh Surjewala and Deepender Singh Hooda and Aam Aadmi Party leader Anurag Dhanda slammed Khattar.
