SAYS, PUNJAB WILL VEHEMENTLY OPPOSE ANY MOVE BY CENTRE TO GET THE DRACONIAN ANTI-FARMERS LAW PASSED THROUGH BACK DOOR
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, January 2-
Slamming PM Narendra Modi Union government for anti-farmers stance, the Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday unequivocally said that the state government will vehemently oppose any move of centre to once again pass anti-farmers draconian law through back door.
Interacting with the media here at his official residence, the Chief Minister said that from the last few months farmers agitation is going at Shambhu and Khanori borders. He said that during last January and February farmers groups had detailed parleys with the centre government in which the state government acted as a bridge. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the demands of the farmers are primarily concerned with the Union government and Punjab has no role to play in it.
However, the Chief Minister said that it is unfortunate that after forming the government at centre, the Modi led government has not bothered to show any concern about the farmers. He said that now the union government is trying to bring back the black laws through the back door.
