Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Saturday said that Prime minister Narendra Modi has made an announcement regarding repealing of farm laws but farmers need to be cautious until the farm laws are formally repealed.
Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone of a new sugar mill here, the Chief Minister said that conspiracies are being hatched to derail progress and prosperity of Punjab adding that those who are welcoming the announcement of Prime Minister are a part of this. He said that repealing of laws is baseless until and unless guarantee of MSP for crops is not made, adding that Punjabis must not sit idle but have to be extra vigilant until the entire process is completed.
Making a scathing attack on people who are welcoming the announcement of the PM, the Chief Minister asked them to explain the reason to rejoice as Punjab has lost more than 700 sons and daughters during the struggle. He said it is shameful that for the sake of their vested political interests some political leaders are bent on sacrificing the interests of the state.
