..Says his statement on ongoing farmers’ agitation preposterous aimed at maligning farmers
Chandigarh, September 28
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab senior leader and Sunam legislator Aman Arora, terming the statement made by Punjab CM Amarinder Singh, ‘The ongoing farmers’ agitation in Punjab could vitiate the atmosphere in Punjab’, said it was nothing but a ploy to hide his own colossal failures in the state.
In a statement issued from party headquarters in Chandigarh here on Tuesday, Aman Arora said that Amarinder Singh was indulging in false statement mongering, saying the farmers’ agitation in Punjab posed a potential danger to the state, rubbishing it as a preposterous statement aimed at maligning the famers. Taking a potshot at CM Aamrinder Singh, who also holds the charge of state Home Ministry, Arora said it was his statutory responsibility if he had any clinching evidence or information to this effect, he should share this information with the Central Government and initiate immediate action in the matter so that the peaceful atmosphere in the state was not allowed to be vitiated or worsened at any cost.
The AAP leader that five years ago ahead of the 2017 state assembly elections, the heart-wrenching Maur bomb blast had completely transformed the political narrative in Punjab, adding that now exactly four years after the formation of the Congress party government in the state, every section of society in Punjab felt cheated at the hands of the government in the saddle as the promised it had paddled among the people remained unkempt.
Arora said that there was no doubt about the fact that by enacting anti-farmer black laws, the Union Government was hell bent on breaking the backbone of farmers, agricultural laborers, landlords, bookkeepers, ‘arhtiyas’, small-time shopkeepers and, besides hitting hard the rural economy.
The Sunam MLA said that the peaceful protest being staged across the state by various farmers’ organizations against the draconian anti-farmer laws was within their legitimate right to he heard. At the same time, Arora said, the irrational and irresponsible statements being issued by Amarinder Singh was nothing but a move to malign the image of the state farmers.
Arora had a piece advisory for chief minister Amarinder Singh, saying that he should refrain from making such false and frivolous statements to cover up his colossal failures over the promises ‘Raja Sahib’ had made to the people of Punjab ahead of assuming power in 2017, including addressing certain pressing issues and concerns of the people of Punjab had been wrestling with. He should focus on solving those problems instead of slandering the farmers in the state.
