SAD had passed Contract Farming Bill in 2013 in collusion with BJP : Jakhar

Chandigarh, Feb 10 (UNI) Slamming the AAP for shamelessly spreading canards, Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Sunil Jakhar on Wednesday said it was the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) led by Parkash Singh Badal which had passed the nefarious Punjab Contract Farming Act in 2013 in collusion with BJP.
It was this SAD-BJP combine who had dared to introduce jail term for farmers in the Budget Session of 2013 after suspending nine Congress MLAs to throttle their voice against these draconian measures, the PPCC chief said showing the vidoe clips of that session to media persons here on Wednesday.
Mincing no words, Jakhar lambasted AAP for siding with the BJP on a sensitive issue of farmers welfare. They have bartered their souls to their political bosses in the BJP and are only hellbent on defaming our farmers for their petty political aims, he added.
On Sukhbir's absence from the ongoing Parliament Session, the Congress leader quipped, "That Sukhbir has chosen MC elections over going to Parliament for raising farmers concerns against his old partners BJP shows his misplaced priorities." Watching his political base slipping away the SAD president is busy protecting his own turf rather than protecting the interests of the farmers he espouses so brazenly, he pointed out.
Throwing an open challenge to the BJP, Jakhar said that rather than making provoking statements, the party leaders should come to Punjab Agriculture University Ludhiana for an open debate on the three anti-farmer agriculture laws and make the farmers understand about the benefits of these laws. He also appealed to the people of Punjab to not create any violence and protest peacefully and democratically.
