Congress MPs Protest Against Police Crackdown on Farmers
NEW DELHI: Congress MPs from Punjab staged a dharna at Parliament on Thursday, voicing their strong opposition to the police crackdown on farmers protesting at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders. They labeled both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as “anti-farmer” for their actions against the protesting farmers.
Allegations Against Punjab Government
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge condemned the actions of the Punjab government, stating, “the two anti-farmer parties have joined hands against the farmers.” He expressed outrage that the Punjab government had initially called the farmers for talks, only to subsequently remove them forcibly from protest sites. Kharge emphasized that both BJP and AAP, intoxicated with the arrogance of power, have worked against the farmers’ interests.
Support from Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi joined the protesting MPs, who were holding placards in support of farmers. The Congress MPs accused Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of having a nexus with the BJP, further intensifying their allegations against the state government.
This protest highlights ongoing tensions between farmers and government authorities, drawing attention to the need for dialogue and resolution. As the situation unfolds, it remains crucial for citizens to remain informed and engaged with these pressing issues.
