Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, December 13 -
The AAP strongly condemns the shameful and baseless remarks made by BJP Rajya Sabha MP Ramchandra Jangra against the farmers and the people of Punjab. AAP Punjab said that BJP MP's statement, alleging the disappearance of 700 girls during the farmers’ movement and accusing Punjabis of spreading drugs, reflects a deeply prejudiced and malicious mindset.
AAP senior spokesperson Neel Garg stated, "Such vile statements are not isolated incidents but part of a calculated attempt by BJP leaders to malign the image of Punjabis and farmers. Even if BJP later distances itself by calling these personal remarks, it is evident that these statements align with the BJP’s divisive agenda and mindset."
Garg pointed out that the farmers’ movement was a historic struggle that garnered national and international attention, with extensive media coverage at all levels. If such baseless allegations were true, they would have been reported. He questioned the intent behind such claims, saying that these remarks are a continuation of the BJP’s attempts to discredit the farmers who forced the central government to repeal the controversial farm laws.
