SAD terms second economic blockade of Punjab by BJP govt as vendetta against Punjabis, farmers

Chandigarh, Nov 26 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal on Thursday came down heavily against the BJP governments in Haryana as well as at the Center for ''outraging the Constitution on the Constitution Adoption Day itself, in dealing with the peacefully and democratically protesting farmers''.
Criticising both the Central and state governments, SAD president Sardar Sukhbir Singh Badal said, ''I strongly condemn the repression and persecution launched against the farmers in Haryana. The water cannon will not douse the flames of a democratic protest, held against injustice.
''Modi government is treating Punjab as if it were not a part of the country. Are we not a part of India? Are farmers, traders and other common Punjabis not Indians?,'' he asked.
Referring to the growing repressive and trends in the country in the recent times, Mr Badal said, ''They rule the country as if it were a dictatorship. It's a very sad day for the country, when the Constitution of the country was openly flouted (dhajjian udaaian gaeeian) by those, who were tasked with protecting, safeguarding and implementing the Constitution in letter and spirit.''
Addressing a press conference at Amritsar, the Akali leader said the Centre was inflicting the ''second economic blockade on Punjab out of sheer vendetta against Punjab farmers, which will hurt every Punjabi, be he a trader, a businessman, a farmer or an employee''.
Mr Badal minced no words in putting the blame squarely on the BJP governments, both at the Centre and in Haryana, saying that Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had acted under the instructions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to deal with the ''annadata of the country exactly as one would deal with an enemy of the nation''.
''This was a painful mirror image of what (former Haryana Chief Minister) Bhajan Lal had done under the instructions from (former Prime Minister) Indira Gandhi against the peacefully protesting Punjabis in 1982, stopping and humiliating every Punjabi, including the highly-decorated Generals on the eve of the siad.
Reiterating that SAD was ''fully, whole heartedly and actively a part of the farmers struggle'', Mr Badal said that his party was the largest farmers' organisation in the world, in which every Akali was a farmer.
He directed every member of the party to ensure the success of the farmers cause. Mr Badal re-iterated his appeal to the SGPC and DSGMC to render all kinds of assistance to the agitating and beleaguered farmers.
