Haryana's Transport and Energy Minister Anil Vij on Monday highlighted the significant distinction between saints and kathavachaks, amid recent criticisms directed at kathavachak Aniruddhacharya.

Addressing reporters, Vij underscored the role of saints as custodians of cultural and Sanatan values, noting that while anyone can become a storyteller by reading a few books, true spiritual wisdom comes from saints who have spiritually evolved.

Vij also spoke about his unfazed stance regarding his exclusion from the list of party MLAs tasked with overseeing constituencies. As the senior-most BJP legislator in Haryana, he announced an upcoming state tour to meet with party workers.
