Patiala, Oct 6 (UNI) The three-day Punjab 'Kheti Bachao Yatra’ of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh culminated on Tuesday at the border along Haryana, with a vow by the two leaders to not allow the implementation of new farm Laws.

At a public rally in Francewala village, near Sanaur in Patiala District – the final point of the tractor rally of the Congress leaders, Mr Gandhi accused the BJP-led government at the Centre for "inflicting atrocities upon atrocities on the people of all sections in the past six years."

The poor have become poorer and the rich are getting richer, he said, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of serving the interests of corporate houses at the cost of those of small businessmen, farmers, arhtiyas and farm labour.

“But the farmers would die rather than bow their heads before these unjust and barbaric laws,” Mr Gandhi said, adding that the mandi and procurement system, which the farm laws would destroy, was the protective shield for the farming community.

"These laws would make farmers bonded labourers in the hands of Ambani and Adani," Mr Gandhi claimed, calling upon the farmers to act so that they do not have to repent later.

This is not a fight only for Punjab but for the entire country, the Congress MP said, warning that once these laws are implemented, farmers would not be able to knock at the doors of Administration for help.

“Do you need such a system where shopping malls are constructed while farmers die of starvation?” he asked.

In his address,Capt Amarinder said that the regions of Dakala and Sanaur have always stood by his family and the Congress Party, and the people of these areas were now standing rock solid behind the party on the issue of the black farm laws.

Castigating the BJP Government, he said that farmers all over the country have risen up against the Modi regime and warned that “these oppressors will be decimated in the next elections.”
