Capt Amarinder Singh ensuring farm protest continues: BJP

Chandigarh, March 6

State BJP president Ashwani Sharma today alleged the Capt Amarinder Singh government instead of helping find resolution to the farmers’ protest was taking instigative steps to keep the pot boiling in Punjab.

Reacting to the Vidhan Sabha resolution on the farm laws, Sharma said the Chief Minister, by brining such resolutions time and again, was misleading farmers. Instead of helping the Centre resolve the differences with farmers, he was trying to complicate the issue and create a wrong impression, he added.

“This has created a law and order situation and brought the state on the edge,” said Sharma.

He said after having failed to do anything to improve the plight of farmers in Punjab, the state government was supporting and instigating farmers’ protest. He said the government had been instigating farmers against the laws right from day one and has lent support to the disruptive elements in the garb of supporting farmers. — TNS
