Reacting strongly to the statement made by Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh regarding the ongoing farmers’ movement that the farmers’ should accept the proposal of the Central Government, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday said that it proved Capt Amarinder’s double standard on the issue.
“Under collusion with the Centre, he is trying to suppress the farmers’ movement,” said Cheema adding that Capt Amarinder’s recent statement regarding the farmers’ protest that the farmers should accept the Central Government’s proposal which will halt the implementation of the central farm laws for two years, was “reprehensible and an anti-farmer statement”.
Cheema said that the statement made by Captain Amarinder Singh proves yet again that he had been compromised and was acting at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “He has proved yet again that he has some internal setting with the ruling dispensation. Both Captain and Modi are hand in glove and are working to suppress the farmers’ movement by opting various tactics and maneuvers,” he added.
