Advising against shortcuts, he called on the youth of the state to reject the politics of nepotism and corruption while strengthening the spirit of Ek Bharat – Shreshtha Bharat. He also emphasized the importance of fact-based discussions, constructive criticism over blind opposition, and solutions-driven democracy.
He also praised the national education policy for empowering youth to pursue their talents and interests, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
Saini criticized the then Congress govt for imposing the emergency, stating there was no instability or natural disaster to justify it.
"Fifty years ago, during the Emergency, not only were political rights violated, but there was also a brutal attack on women's freedom, dignity, and rights. It was a time when both democracy and women's dignity were strangled. Women were imprisoned, their voices were suppressed, and they were confined to their homes," said the CM.
He added that it reminds him of a time when efforts were made to suppress the voice of the entire nation. "It was an era when, disregarding the constitution, the country was turned into a prison to save the power of one family," he said.
He also expressed confidence that India's democratic spirit can never be crushed again. "Today, with so many aware mothers and sisters present, I am confident that no one can crush the democratic consciousness of this country again," he said, adding that emergency was imposed on the night of June 25, 1975, by misusing the constitution, which curtailed the rights of every individual in the country.

Boundaries of administrative units to be frozen on Dec 31, 2025 for Census
The Centre has asked states and Union Territories to make any proposed changes in the boundaries of administrative units before December 31, when they will be considered final for the census exercise. In a letter to all states and Union Territories, Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India Mritunjay Kumar Narayan has said that for the Census, all villages and towns are divided into uniform enumeration blocks and for each block, an enumerator is assigned to avoid any miss or repetition during the population count. According to norms, the Census can be conducted only three months after the freezing of boundary limits of administrative units such as districts, sub-districts, tehsils, talukas and police stations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Direct Shopping From Adidas Franchise Store, Up To 50% Off Original Adidas Shop Now Undo Narayan said from April 1, 2026, the Houselisting Operation, the appointment of supervisors and enumerators and the work division among them will be done, and on February 1, 2027, the Census of the population will begin. It is important that once enumeration blocks are finalised, boundaries of administrative units are not changed, the letter said. Live Events In his letter addressed to chief secretaries, Narayan asked them to direct all departments to make any proposed changes in the boundaries of municipal corporations, revenue villages, tehsils, sub-divisions or districts before December 31. He asked the states and UTs to ensure that no changes should be made in the boundaries of administrative units between January 1, 2026, and March 31, 2027, during which Census exercise will take place. Any changes in the existing boundaries must be intimated to Census Directorates in the states and Union Territories and Registrar General of India by December 31, 2025, it said. "For Census 2027 , boundaries of administrative units will be frozen on December 31, 2025," the letter said. To ensure a fair workload for enumerators, an administrative unit is divided into manageable sections for the Census called "blocks". A block is a clearly defined area within a village or town on a notional map for census purposes. These are termed Houselisting Blocks (HLBs) during Houselisting Operations and Enumeration Blocks (EBs) during Population Enumeration and serve as the smallest administrative units for the Census. India's 16th Census with caste enumeration will be carried out in 2027 with the reference date of October 1, 2026, in snow-bound areas like Ladakh and March 1, 2027, in the rest of the country. The Census will be conducted in two phases. In phase one i.e. houselisting Operation (HLO), the housing conditions, assets and amenities of each household will be collected. Subsequently, in the second phase i.e. Population Enumeration (PE), the demographic, socio-economic, cultural and other details of every person in each household will be collected. In the Census, caste enumeration will also be done, a Government statement had said. For Census activities, about 34 lakh enumerators and supervisors and around 1.3 lakh Census functionaries would be deployed. It is the 16th Census till now and the eighth after independence. The ensuing Census will be conducted through digital means using mobile applications. Provision of Self-enumeration would also be made available to the people. Very stringent data security measures would be kept in place to ensure data security at the time of collection, transmission and storage, the statement had said. The reference date for Population Census - 2027 will be 00:00 hours of the first day of March 2027. For the Union Territory of Ladakh and the non-synchronous snow-bound areas of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir and states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the reference date will be 00.00 hours of the first day of October 2026, a notification had said. This Census will be carried out after 16 years as the last one was done in 2011.

"Ecologically devastating": Congress' Jairam Ramesh on Centr's plans to redraw Sariska Tiger Reserve boundaries for mining
New Delhi [India], June 29 (ANI): Congress leader and party's General Secretary in-charge of Communications Jairam Ramesh attacked the Centre on Sunday for a proposed plan to redraw the boundaries of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, allowing 50 mining companies to resume operations. In a post on X, Ramesh said, 'Now the boundary of the tiger reserve is about to get redrawn. This will enable 50 mining companies which have been closed down to resume operations. Getting the full involvement of local communities in the sustainable management of tiger reserves is essential and goes without saying. But this particular move to reopen the 50 mines (marble, dolomite, limestone, and masonic stone) will adversely impact the tiger habitat - a habitat that has been regenerated in the face of great odds.' The reopening of mines will fragment the critical tiger habitat, potentially devastating the ecosystem and threatening the tiger population. The Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, once on the brink of collapse due to poaching, has made a remarkable recovery with a current tiger count of 48. However, a new threat looms large as the boundary of the reserve is set to be redrawn. Taking a jibe at the 'double-engine' government, the party leader pointed out that both the union and state environment ministers are from Alwar district, where the reserve is located. 'The Union Environment Minister is from Alwar. So is the Environment Minister of Rajasthan. Surely this double engine cannot be supporting such corridor fragmentation to benefit the mine owners,' the Congress General Secretary's post read. The Rajya Sabha MP further praised the previous Manmohan Singh-led government for working to preserve the Tiger population. 'The tiger population at Sariska had been reduced to exactly zero by December 2004 thanks to an hyper-active poaching network. This created a nation-wide shock and led to the creation of the Tiger Task Force in April 2005 and to a meeting of Manmohan Singh with chief wildlife wardens of different states at the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in May 2005. Subsequently the National Tiger Conservation Authority came into being in Dec 2005 and the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau in June 2007,' his post read. He also praised the efforts for increasing the tiger population, despite certain earlier doubts regarding relocation of Tigers from Panna reserve to Sariska, 'Thereafter along with the Panna Tiger Reserve, relocation was initiated at Sariska -in the face of considerable scepticism from some experts themselves- and today the tiger count stands at a historic high of 48.' Congress leader Jairam Ramesh suggests that the Supreme Court may need to intervene to prevent the destruction of the tiger habitat, citing violations of its directives. In May of last year, SC had forbidden any mining activity within a 1 kilometre radius around Sariska Tiger Reserve and also asked the states to formulate closure plans to comply with its order. Sariska Tiger Reserve is situated in the Aravalli Hills, one of the world's oldest mountain ranges. The reserve is 35 km from Alwar, 250 km southwest of Delhi and 110 km northeast of Jaipur. The former hunting reserve of the Maharaja of Alwar, the Sariska valley, is home to a variety of flora and fauna. The park has populations of tigers, leopards, Nilgai, Sambar, chital etc. The place is a paradise for bird lovers as it shelters a large population of Indian peafowl, crested serpent eagles, sand grouse, golden-backed woodpeckers, great Indian horned owls, tree pies, vultures and many others.
