Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal today said that 'Sadbhavna Week' would be celebrated in the state to re-instill a sense of brotherhood among people.
He said the government was working with the aim of 'Haryana Ek - Haryanvi Ek' and though some anti-social elements had recently disrupted the harmony of society, an apparent reference to the Jat quota stir, the state government had tackled the situation through dialogue and use of law.
He was speaking at the foundation-stone laying ceremony of 'Gita Gyan Sansthanam' in Kurukshetra.
