Jind News and Update
JIND: Haryana Janhit Congress (BL) supremo Kuldeep Bishnoi has accused the ruling Congress of indulging in corruption and doing nothing to bring back the black money deposited in foreign banks.
Addressing a “Mahasangram” rally organised at the HUDA grounds here on the completion of three years of the raising of his party on Thursday, Bishnoi also charged leader of the opposition Om Prakash Chautala with failure to-raise the issues of common people.
Asking chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda to scrap the State Teacher Eligibility Test, resolve the SYL canal and HBL channel issues, acquire land only at market rates, and pay attention to the issues of employees, traders, farmers and other sections of society, Bishnoi said if the government failed to deliver on these suggestions, the HJC would fulfill the promises if given a chance to form the next government.
Addressing thousands of participants who had arrived’ for the rally from all over Haryana, Bishnoi launched an attack on Congress president Sonia Gandhi too, saying the party had won the parliamentary election in the name of “a am aadmi” but had done nothing for the welfare of the common man.
The Congress had promised to bring back Rs 2, 80,000 crore black money from foreign banks, he said, but not acted on it. In fact, members of the UPA government were indulging in scandals such as the CWG, 2G spectrum, Adrash Society and SEZ, he added.

The area in which the Jind district lies formed an integral part of Kurukshetra in the traditional geographical account. It derived its name after Jainti, an ancient tirtha mentioned in the Mahabharata and the Padma Purana, founded in honor of Jainti, the goddess of victory. According to a local tradition, the goddess was invoked by the Pandavas for victory in the battle against the Kauravas.
The antiquity of the district is established on the basis of the discovery of the Pre-Harappan, the Late-Harappan and the Painted Grey Ware pottery at various places from the district and the mention of its tirthas in the Puranas corroborates it.
The district was first occupied by a pre-Harappan Chalcolitic agricultural community whose pottery has been recovered from a number of places such as Anta, Morkhi, Beri Khera (tahsil Safidon); Balu, Hatho, Rani Ran (Bata), Pahlwan, Dhakal (tahsil Narwana); Birbaraban, Barsana, Pauli, Karsola (tahsil Jind), etc. It is not yet possible to state from where these people had moved here or to throw much light on their socio-economic life. However, on the basis of the evidence of the nearby pre-Harappan sites like Mitathal (Bhiwani district), Siswal, Banwali and Rakhigarhi (Hisar district), it may be stated that these people possibly lived in mud brick and thatched roof houses, used wheel-made pottery, terracotta and copper-made objects.
Ritauli, Birbaraban, Pauli (Jind tahsil), and Balu (Narwana tahsil) have yielded pottery of the mature Harappan culture.
