Chandigarh, October 15, 2020 (Yes Punjab News)
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today warned Punjab police chief Dinkar Gupta that it would ‘gherao’ him as well as the police force if a false case was registered against any farmer in connection with the attack on BJP State President Ashwani Sharma by Congressmen.
Addressing a press conference here, senior SAD leaders Bikram Singh Majithia and Dr Daljit Singh Cheema announced the SAD would stand with farmers who were conducting a peaceful agitation against the draconian Agri marketing laws and condemned attempts to defame farmers and their cause.
The SAD leaders said it was shocking that both chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh and DGP Dinkar Gupta had come out with identical statements saying 25 farmer organizations were linked with the attack on the BJP President two days after a case was registered against unidentified persons in the matter. “This is nothing more than a nefarious attempt to derail the farmer agitation which we will not allow under any circumstances”.
Both Mr Majithia and Dr Cheema said the fact of the matter was that the BJP President had stated that he was attacked by Congressmen. “Even the Congress mp from Ludhiana – Ravneet Singh Bittu has confessed that Congressmen were behind the attack. Why isn’t the State government taking any action against Bittu instead of targeting innocent farmers?” they asked.
The SAD leaders also warned the Congress government not to commit any act which had the propensity to spoil the hard won peace and communal harmony of Punjab. “If the Congress government does not relent and wants to play with fire the SAD will launch a ‘morcha’ to safeguard farmers and their interests”, the leaders added.
