Punjab Newsline, handigarh, March 19-
AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang has called for a collaborative and constructive approach to resolve the ongoing issues faced by farmers. He highlighted that Punjab's borders have been blocked for over a year, leading to significant economic losses, reduced investments, and a decline in tourism.
Speaking on the matter, MP Malvinder Singh Kang said, “Every Punjabi has always stood firmly with the farmers. Whether it was the black farm laws or any other challenge, the people of Punjab—urban and rural, youth, farmers, laborers, and businessmen—have supported the farmers’ movements wholeheartedly. The repeal of the black farm laws was a victory achieved through unity and resilience.”
Kang pointed out the adverse effects of the prolonged border closures on Punjab. “The closure of Punjab’s borders, particularly at Shambhu, has not only created economic hardships but also affected religious tourism. The number of devotees visiting sacred places like Darbar Sahib has declined. Furthermore, the biggest challenge is the lack of investment, which is directly tied to industrial growth and employment generation.
