YAD burns effigies of PM, HM against misuse of NIA across Punjab

Chandigarh, Jan 21 (UNI) The Youth Akali Dal (YAD) on Thursday burnt effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah across the state, to protest against the gross misuse of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against the peacefully protesting farmer leaders, as well as all those supporting the Kisan Andolan.

YAD President Parambans Singh Romana, while leading the agitation at Bathinda, said that both the Prime Minister and the Home Minister should learn a lesson from history.
''Punjabis have always risen as one against repression and the more the BJP-led Central government tries to suppress the peaceful agitation, the more Punjabis will bounce back to counter the aggression”.

He condemned the recent notices sent by the NIA to all those, who had extended help to the Kisan Andolan.
He said be it those helping in transport, Langar or by way of financial aid, everyone was being targeted. ''This is against the mandate of the NIA, which was formed to probe terror links.''

Mr Romana said all this was happening because the Punjab government, led by Capt Amarinder Singh, was dancing to the tunes of the Centre with the Chief Minister, even taking orders directly from Amit Shah.
''This is why Punjab police went out of the way to target Kisan national anthem song writer Shree Brar and did nothing when singers were slapped with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) notices.''
He said the Congress government’s decision to open schools and colleges was also aimed at weakening the 'Kisan Andolan,' as such a step would force many farmers to come back to their homes in the state.

Asserting that there was no space for ego and arrogance in a democracy, Mr Romana said the Centre should listen to the voice of the peasantry and repeal the three hated Agricultural laws immediately.
''The Centre has admitted that they were wrong by agreeing to suspend them. It should not stand on false pride any longer and scrap the laws immediately, or be ready for further intensification of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) agitation on this issue, in conjunction with farmer organisations,'' he added.
