Urges Cong and BJP leadership to broach the issue of farmers with PM
Chandigarh, October 27 (wishavwarta):-Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab senior leader and State General Secretary Harchand Singh Barsat on Tuesday appealed to chief minister Capt. Amarinder Singh, and the BJP state leadership to take up the issue of the farmers with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and have it resolved sooner than later.
In a statement from party headquarters on Tuesday, Harchand Singh Barsat said that the Bills passed by the Capt. Amarinder Singh government in the Vidhan Sabha to amend the three anti-farmer agriculture laws were not going to benefit the farmers in any way, as they were unlikely to get the assent of the Governor of Punjab nor the President of India, for sure. He alleged that he (CM) had squandered away the peoples’ money for his personal glorification through advertisements, only to mislead the people of Punjab by peddling lies about it.
Similarly, the BJP leaders had been trying to mislead the Punjabis on the issue by resorting to political gimmickry. Barsat said that if they had a little love lost for the farmers and their families, they should care for the Punjabis and help resolve the issues the farmers were fighting for. He lamented that, instead of being sensitive to the cause of farmers, who were fighting on the roads, railway tracks, saying that the governments were not willing to talk to them even as 33 days of their relentless struggle had rolled by.
Harchand Singh Burst urged the Capt. Amarinder Singh Government and the BJP leaders to be sensitive to the enormity of the issues of the farmers and immediately approach the Prime Minister to resolve the issue of Punjabis on a priority basis.
