LUDHIANA: Supporting the farmers’ movement and raising their voice, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) stated that “every effort” was being made to “suppress” the agitation of the farmers. Amandeep Singh Mohi, joint secretary Punjab said that AAP was the first party to “oppose” the Central farm laws, the first party to support the farmers' march to Delhi and the only party that “stood” shoulder to shoulder along with the farmers in their fight.
Addressing media persons, Amandeep Singh said that to “strengthen” the farmers' movement and to “raise their voice” further, AAP's national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is coming to Bagha Purana on March 21 at 11am.
AAP leader Tarsem Singh Bhinder appealed to every citizen of Punjab to come along with their families in large numbers to Bagha Purana on March 21 and “strengthen” the agitation of farmers. "The farmers of our country made the land fertile by fighting the animals in the forest so that the people of this country do not go hungry. The farmers of our country starved themselves from time to time and fed the country with food," Tarsem Singh Bhinder added.
The AAP leader said that now the same farmer had been “cheated” by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government. He said that the government had “stabbed” the farmers in the back and had “conspired” to take away their land from them. "But Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party always stood with the farmers. From the road to the Parliament, the Aam Aadmi Party raised the voice of the farmers," Amandeep Singh said.
Sharanpal Makkar said that when the farmers were protesting against the Modi government in severe cold and harsh weather; Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party helped the farmers by working as 'sewadar'. Master Hari Singh, Gobind Kumar and Harjeet Singh also joined with them.
