Naib Saini’s Diplomatic Response to Gang-Rape Case Against Mohan Lal Badoli
Former CM Manohar Lal’s Arrogance and Naib Saini’s Tactful Approach

Saini’s Diplomatic Handling of the Case
When newsmen approached Haryana CM Naib Saini for a comment on the gang-rape case against Mohan Lal Badoli, he simply responded with a “Thank you.” This response reflected a more diplomatic approach compared to his predecessor, former CM Manohar Lal Khattar. Khattar, in a similar situation, had shown arrogance in defending his cabinet colleague, Sandeep Singh, against molestation charges, stating that anyone could register a false case. However, Khattar later had to retract his words when the Chandigarh Police formally registered a case, leading to Sandeep Singh being stripped of his sports portfolio. Naib Saini, on the other hand, avoided direct engagement with the query, ensuring that even if Badoli is proven guilty, he would not face the same embarrassment that Khattar experienced.

Manohar Lal’s Support for Colleague and Its Consequences
Former CM Manohar Lal Khattar had initially gone to great lengths to protect Sandeep Singh, despite the molestation charges against him. Khattar’s initial defense fell apart when the Chandigarh Police registered a formal case. Subsequently, Singh was relieved of his sports portfolio. This situation showcased the political fallout from taking a firm stance without waiting for due process to unfold.

Role of Transport Minister Anil Vij
Transport Minister Anil Vij has played an intriguing role in the case involving Mohan Lal Badoli. While he has asked Badoli to resign pending the completion of the probe, he also expressed confidence that Badoli would be cleared in the inquiry. What’s more surprising is the support from some of Badoli’s caste community members, who have offered him a clean chit. Minister Arvind Sharma also came to Badoli’s defense, further adding to the political complexity of the case.

The Hypothetical Role of Haryana Police in Different Locations
An interesting question arises: Had the incident occurred in Kalka or Panchkula, rather than Kasauli, how would the Haryana Police have handled the case? This hypothetical question draws attention to the potential influence of location on the investigation and the actions of law enforcement in such sensitive matters.

Conclusion
The case involving Mohan Lal Badoli continues to unfold amidst political intricacies, with CM Naib Saini’s diplomatic response being in stark contrast to the earlier arrogance shown by Manohar Lal Khattar. The handling of the case by key political figures like Anil Vij and Arvind Sharma further complicates the situation, raising questions about the impartiality of the investigation.
