Chandigarh: The Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday called the Punjab bandh shutdown today a success for farmers and said the farmers of Punjab have once again demonstrated their unity and resolve by making today’s shutdown.
Bajwa in his statement slammed the AAP government in the state for mishandling the ongoing farmers’ agitation, accusing it of betraying the agrarian community and colluding with the BJP to undermine the state’s proud legacy.
He also said that this movement underscores the legitimacy of their demands and the failure of both the AAP-led Punjab government and the BJP-led Central government to address their concerns.
Farmers are, and will always be the backbone of our nation.
Bajwa expressed concern over the ongoing hunger strike of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, which has now entered its 35th day.
He underscored the farmers’ key demand for an assured minimum support price (MSP) for all crops, calling it essential to protect their livelihoods.
The Congress legislator accused the AAP government of ignoring this critical issue and instead working with the BJP to undermine the farmers’ peaceful agitation.
Bajwa also questioned Mann’s inaction at the national level. “Why hasn’t Bhagwant Mann sought time from the Prime Minister or the Home Minister to resolve this urgent matter? Why is he leaving it to bureaucrats and police officials instead of taking the lead? Farmers’ demands, especially for MSP, are not just state issues, they require national-level intervention,” he added.
