Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday brought his newborn baby daughter home and named her Niyamat Kaur Mann.
Accompanied by his wife Dr Gurpreet Kaur, who was discharged from a private hospital in Mohali after giving birth to their daughter on Thursday, Mann held the baby girl in his arms as he interacted with the media outside his residence.
”Today, it is a big day for my family and my wife. Our relatives have reached home and all are very happy. I thank Almighty for giving us a healthy baby,” Mann said.
”Whether it is a boy or a girl, the first thing is that the child should be healthy. Secondly, the child should be given a good education and allowed to chase their dreams. Our daughters are no less and they are excelling in every field and I am happy that I have become father to a girl,” he said.
Replying to a question, Mann said he visited Fortis hospital in Mohali on Wednesday evening when his wife got admitted there for the child’s delivery.
He said during her visits to the hospital for check ups earlier he intentionally avoided not to accompany her as his visits involve security protocols and he did not want any inconvenience should be caused to patients.
About the baby’s name, he said a few days back he and his wife listened to a song and a word came up from there.
”This line had come in that song–Niyamat rab di daad, khuda di bakshish,” he said.
So, we thought if a baby girl is born, we will name her Niyamat, which means divine blessing, the CM said.
ਅੱਜ ਸਾਡੇ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਲਈ ਬਹੁਤ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਦਾ ਦਿਨ ਹੈ… ਧੀ ਰਾਣੀ ‘ਨਿਆਮਤ’ ਦੀ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਲਈ ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਬਹੁਤ ਬਹੁਤ ਸ਼ੁਕਰ ਗੁਜ਼ਾਰ ਹਾਂ… pic.twitter.com/EOqjXANL2f

When asked if Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has also congratulated him on her daughter’s birth, Mann said he is part of the family, he is like an elder brother.
”He has congratulated us and what would I tell him that he has become ‘tau’ or ‘dada’,” he said.
Mann married Dr Kaur in 2022 after he separated from his first wife in 2015. He has a son and a daughter from his first marriage.
Congratulatory messages poured in on Thursday after the couple were blessed with a baby girl.
While leaving Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court where the Enforcement Directorate had produced him, Kejriwal congratulated Mann on his daughter’s birth.
Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar had also extended his congratulations to Mann family.
Mann’s cabinet colleagues including Harpal Singh Cheema, Aman Arora and Anmol Gagan Mann had also congratulated him.
