With farmers in their struggle, says Mann

Chandigarh, November 22

Bhagwant Mann, president of Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Punjab unit and MP from Sangrur, today made an emotional appeal to the party workers to join the farmers’ stir in New Delhi against the “black agricultural laws forced by the Union Government-led by Narendra Modi, sans party flag.” He exhorted the party rank and file to stand up and be counted.

In a statement issued from the party headquarters here, Mann said farmers were the backbone of Punjab and without their untiring efforts, the state cannot move forward in any sphere. He also made it clear that the AAP would rise above party affiliations and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the farmers in their hour of need.

He said this was no time to stand and stare or just sit quietly on the sidelines. It was indeed tragic that the farming community, which fed the entire nation, was left to fend for itself by the Centre. CM Capt Amarinder Singh too had left the farmers in the lurch and was enjoying kingly pleasures, Mann alleged.
