The Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday accused Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of showing a shameful reluctance to accept the demands of the farmers.
“The BJP government is working as General Dyer and torturing poor farmers every day. Till our last breathe the AAP and Arvind Kejriwal will stand beside the farmers and from the parliament to the streets we will continue to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the farmers,” said Singh.
He alleged that the BJP government is not representing the citizens of India but the capitalists like Adani and Ambani.
“On January 4, the farmers of met the Centre government with high hopes, thinking that the meeting would be their last one. But, the government is behaving in an unjust and unruly manner with them,” said Singh.
“The farmers are being attacked with tear gas, lathi-charge and water cannons. Along with this, they are being insulted and allegedly called terrorists, khalisanti, Pakistani. The behaviour shown towards the farmers, who are the backbone of our nation, has been extremely disgraceful,” said Singh.
“The farm laws have been resisted by everyone. Be it at the parliament or the streets of the nation. They were passed without due deliberations via ordinance. These laws have been made to fan the bogey of capitalists like Adani but the farmers too, have made up their mind and will continue to fight till the government is forced to re-appeal them,” said Singh.
“Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party, have decided to stand shoulder to shoulder with the farmers in this fight. From parliament to the
streets, we will continue to resist for the sake of our farmers,” said Singh.
“We hoped that these laws will be re-appealed by the central government in January 4 meeting but the result was the same as before. I request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to not test farmers’ patience any longer. They have suffered enough at the hands of the central government. Kindly re-appeal these laws back because if their wrath takes the streets, the consequences will be serious,” said Singh.
