Comrade Mangat Ram Pasla, national general secretary of the Revolutionary Marxist Party of India (RMPI), has warned the Union Government against its anti-farmer policies and said the farmers’ agitation would go till the revocation of the controversial farm legislations.
The national-level communists leader was addressing a rural gathering in Cheema Khurd village, 35 km from here, to pay tributes to farmer leader Joginder Singh (75) of the village who sacrificed his life while
participating in the dharna organised at the Buttari (Amritsar) railway station on October 24.
Lashing out at the Union Government for cancelling the goods trains and imposing of fine for Rs 1 crore against stubble burning and jail sentence for five years, he said that all these were the revengeful acts when the main aim of the government should be to think for the betterment of the citizens.
Mangat Ram Pasla cautioned the people to be aware of the fascist policies of the Modi government. A cheque for Rs 5 lakh was given to the family of deceased farmer Joginder Singh by Harkaram Singh, local Tehsildar, on behalf of the state government on the occasion.
