Khaira dares Kejriwal to withdraw notification on farm laws

Chandigarh, December 3, 2020 (Yes Punjab News)
Former leader of opposition in Punjab Vidhan Sabha and Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira has dared AAP Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to withdraw the erroneous notification dated 23rd November on farm laws and oppose these in Delhi Vidhan Sabha, if he genuinely supports farmers cause.

In a hard hitting statement issued here today, Khaira severely castigated Kejriwal over his double speak on farm laws by implementing them in Delhi.

Khaira said it is a matter of record that the AAP Government of Delhi has issued a notification dated 23.11.2020 (copy attached) through which it has implemented one of the three farm laws passed by the BJP Government.

Khaira said the Delhi Government has notified the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance,2020, one of the three laws that have laid to widespread protest by farmers of India. Khaira said by passing the said law Kejriwal has clearly demonstrated his support for the Modi led BJP government.

Khaira said instead of fighting the anti farmer laws, Kejriwal offered lame defence motivating others to accept the said laws after passage by Lok Sabha and signing by the President, forgetting that Article 245(ii) of the Constitution provides for states to oppose wrongful laws as was done by Gujrat Vidahan Sabha in 2015.

Khaira said now having been caught on the wrong foot Kejriwal is indulging in blatant game of lies. Although he tried to rebut the allegations yesterday over social media but he never once mentioned or denied issuance of the 23rd November notification, which clearly exposes him as a hypocrite, said Khaira.

Khaira dared Kejriwal to summon a special session of Vidhan Sabha and pass a resolution opposing the farmer laws if he was genuinely concerned about the plight of farmers .

Khaira castigated Kejriwal about his claims of denying permission to convert sport stadiums of Delhi as Jails as he along with four other Punjab MLA’s and about 100 protestors that included Aishie Ghosh President JNU were detained at the Hari Nagar stadium in Delhi on 26th November, while they were proceeding to Jantar Mantar.

Khaira said the people of Punjab and the NRI’s had not only supported Kejriwal in the 2017 election but also contributed hundreds of crores of rupees as donation for his party but he has turned a complete blind eye to the farmers protests on the doorsteps of Delhi by not visiting them even once.

Khaira said even the space allotted at Burari (Nirankari Maidan) by Kejriwal was nothing but an open jail for the agitating farmers on the instance of BJP.

Khaira said Kejriwal has not only remained a mute spectator to the genocide of Muslims recently in Delhi or the victimization of activists under the draconian UAPA Law but also supported BJP on the division of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories.

Khaira said Kejriwal was hard core RSS man and the BJP used him as a decoy to weaken the congress through Anna Hazare movement and was now again using him to derail the farmer agitation. Khaira said why doesn’t Kejriwal sit on an indefinite Dharna at Jantar-Mantar now to support the farmers like he did over the Lokpal issue which again he never implemented despite becoming CM twice.
