Congress is acting irresponsible by skipping Centre's ambitious 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' scheme in the Assembly. Whether the message of congress is that they do not care for girl child and women security. Their very act cements the doubt on this. The reason for walkout by congress is such a childish act that they skipped because the ruling members were "insulting national leaders". Does this excuse much bigger than the concept of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' scheme?

Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij today lashed out at opposition Congress for choosing to "skip" the discussion on Centre's ambitious 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' scheme. Vij said, "Such a serious issue is being discussed in the House, but they are not present. Having adverse sex ratio and illegal practice of female foeticide is a blot on the face of our state." "We have to work to correct this. But the Congress party, whose leader is a woman, is not concerned, which is why not a single legislator of the party is present here," he said.

Number of MLAs took part in the non-official resolution pertaining to 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' scheme that was moved by BJP MLA Gian Chand Gupta. A resolution was passed by the House in the absence of Congress members though main opposition INLD MLAs was present and supported it, recommended to the state government that BBBP scheme may be implemented as a "public movement for making Haryana leading state in the country for the education and upliftment of women".
