AAP slams Haryana for blocking roads
AAP Punjab president Aman Arora has expressed solidarity with Punjab’s farmers who have been protesting at Shambhu and Khanauri borders for the past 10 months.
He appealed to the Centre to urgently address their demands and warned against actions that could escalate tension.
Arora said, “Punjab’s farmers have decided to begin a peaceful march from Shambhu border towards Delhi. For the past 10 months, farmer organisations and their supporters have been sitting at Shambhu and Khanauri borders, raising legitimate concerns. The Punjab Government has made numerous efforts to mediate and resolve their issues with the Centre, but it seems the Centre is turning a deaf ear to their plight.”
He criticised the Haryana Government for imposing prohibitory orders that are now preventing the farmers from conducting their peaceful march. “Initially, it was stated that farmers may march on foot, but now we hear that Haryana has imposed restrictions to block them,” he added.
