Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, October 22-
The Center Government is ignoring the rights of Punjab’s farmers. These words were expressed by Cabinet Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal in Chandigarh.
Minister Goyal said that the central government has always been discriminating against the farmers of Punjab. He said that the farmers demand for MSP has not been met, but the central government is deliberately not picking the paddy crop at the specified time from mandies in Punjab. He said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann himself met the Union Minister, but despite this, the Center did not vacate the warehouses of Punjab.
The Cabinet Minister said that the Prime Minister of the country who talked about Annadata is sitting silent today. He said that the public will now respond to the atrocities being committed against the state of Punjab, which fills the country’s food reserves. The people of Punjab know very well how the Center is conspiring to spoil their crops.
He said that today the farmers of Punjab are sitting on Dharnas because of the unpleasant joke of the central government.
