Chandigarh 31st August:- Jagmeet
Singh Brar Convenor Punjab Lok Hit Abiyian addressing a press conference here
at Ferozpur while joining former senior police officer Gurbax Singh and many
Sarpanches from the district joined the Lok Hit Abhiyan started by Jagmeet
Singh Brar.
Gurbax
Singh said that his colleagues and he has been deeply impressed by the policies
of Jagmeet Singh Brar and by his
commitment to fight for the real issues of Punjab by rising above personal
interest and we commit ourselves to the demand for farmer loan waivers and
ordinance to stop suicides.
Jagmeet
Singh Brar expressed anguish at the attitude of the Punjab & Central
governments on the matter of farmer suicides in Punjab.He said that there are
5-6 suicides in Punjab everyday, land & homes are taken away and poor
farmers are pushed to suicide & drugs and if this continues even militancy
may return to Punjab.
Blaming
the loan recovery policies of banks and private lenders he said that at least,
government banks should show mercy to these poor families, they are publicly
humiliated and death is the only option left for them,he has met dozens of
suicide victim families they die when you kill their hope.
He
added that our main agenda is that the NDA/Akali Govt must bring an Ordinance
immediately to stop banks and lenders from taking properties of poor farmers –
this must be done immediately till a permanent solution is finalised. If the
NDA Govt can make the Land Acquisition Ordinance again and again to give land
to Industrialists then why cant they make a ordinance ONCE to save farmers from
suicide, if more than 100,000 Cr loans of the rich can be waived then why not for
farmers ?
He said
that Badal has no right to call himself ‘Panth Ratan’ or ‘Kisana Da Rakha’ if
he cannot get PM Modi to give this Ordinance. Harsimrat Badal must resign
if she can’t bring this in the Cabinet.
Attacking
Capt Amarinder Singh he said that Capt says he will do this in 2017, he will do
that 2017, wait till 2017. Punjab is on a ventilator today. Will Capt. Support
this demand for an ordinance or will he again betray Punjab like on CBI probe
for drugs? He is a MP, Deputy Leader of the Opposition – will he atleast go to Parliament
and raise the issue?
