Chandigarh, May 11

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab president and Member of Parliament Bhagwant Mann today accused the Capt Amarinder Singh-led state government of forcibly snatching the land of farmers for the construction of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway under the Bharatmala Project.

In a statement issued from the party headquarters here on Tuesday, Mann said the Captain government’s “dictatorial” decree to forcibly occupy the lands of farmers should be cancelled immediately and the problems of farmers should be resolved before acquiring the land. Mann said the demands of farmers were valid and they should get the price of the land as per the market rate. — TNS
