Chandigarh: The Aam Aadmi Party Punjab unit on Tuesday welcomed the government decision to reject the Centre’s proposed agricultural marketing reform draft in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha.
Speaking with the media, AAP spokesperson Neel Garg said that this decision makes Punjab the first state to reject this “anti-farmer” draft, protecting the interests of farmers and stakeholders in the state’s agricultural sector.
He congratulated Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his government for taking a stand in favour of farmers.
“This is a historic day. The Modi government’s draft was a direct attack on the rights of Punjab and its farmers. The Mann government has shown unparalleled commitment to safeguarding the interests of the state’s farming community,” said Garg.
He recalled that when the draft was initially sent by the Central government, the State Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khuddian consulted all stakeholders, including farmer unions, labourers, commission agents (arhtiyas), and other agricultural representatives.
Garg emphasised this decision reflects “AAP’s consistent support for farmers and their struggles. The AAP has always stood by farmers, supported their demands, and opposed any policy that harms their rights.”
