Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab on Thursday raised suspicion over the sudden meeting between the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, maintaining that it has “raised questions of propriety”.
The party’s state youth wing president and Barnala MLA Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, raising a question of propriety, said that the meeting held between the duo, ahead of the Union Government scheduled meeting with the agitating farmers’ representatives, made sense especially when the farmers were fighting their sustenance.
Hayer said that while nothing had come out of what transpired between the two leaders at the meeting, the Chief Minister should tell the people of Punjab whether or not he exerted pressure on the Home Minister to repeal the contentious laws.
“Captain’s telling the Home Minister to review and reconsider and resolve the issues and concerns of the farmers expeditiously make no sense at this point in time. These timid remarks by the Captain reinforced one’s suspicion that he, in collusion with Modi-Shah, are hatching a conspiracy to weaken the farmers’ struggle,” he said.
