CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government on Wednesday announced a ban on the use of the phrase “gorakh dhanda,” which is generally used to describe unethical and unfair practices.
A decision to this effect was taken by chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar after a delegation of the Gorakhnath community met him and urged the chief minister to ban the phrase as it hurts the sentiments of the followers of saint Gorakhnath.
The chief minister stated that as guru Gorakhnath was a saint, using the phrase ‘gorakh dhanda’ in any official communication, speech or in any context hurts the sentiments of his followers. Therefore, the use of this phrase in any context has been completely banned in the state.
