Khaira urges Amarinder to convene All Party Meet, plan joint protest at Delhi

Chandigarh, November 28, 2020 (Yes Punjab News)
Former leader of opposition and Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira today called upon all non-BJP MLAs and MPs to come forward and support the agitating farmers, who are being severely victimised by the central government.

In a press release issued here today, Khaira said he was aware of the fact that the farmers organisations had stopped political leaders to interfere in their agitation but that did not mean that the elected representatives of Punjab should remain mute spectators to the gross exploitation of farmers.

Khaira said it is their moral duty to support and sustain the protests at Delhi for the legitimate demands of the farmers.

Khaira said the way both the BJP governments at the centre and Haryana used all harsh methods including water cannons, tear gas shells, heavy barricading etc., it only shows their undemocratic attitude and hatred for the farmers and Punjab.

The former LoP applauded the brave farmers and the youth of Punjab who by sheer will power have managed to defy all impediments and reached Delhi and that too peacefully.

Khaira said the BJP government was treating the farmers with contempt as if they were enemies of the country despite the fact that the Punjabis have immensely contributed towards the inclusive development of the country during the last 73 years of independence.

They have not only made India self-sufficient in food grain production but also defended the borders by laying down their lives. Unfortunately instead of rewarding the brave farmers, the BJP has turned revengeful and is inflicting cruelty upon them, said Khaira.

Khaira said it was the need of the hour for all elected representatives of Punjab including MLAs and MPs, to come to the rescue of protesting farmers.

He urged Capt. Amarinder Singh CM to convene an urgent all party meeting to plan an indefinite protest at Delhi by elected representatives, in order to build pressure upon the central government to accept the legitimate demands of the farmers.

Khaira said it was the moral duty of all elected representatives of Punjab not only to safeguard interests of farmers but also to oppose the undeclared emergency imposed by the BJP government and uphold the constitution of India.
