Darpan News Desk IANS, 22 Nov, 2021 11:46 AM
New Delhi, Nov 22 (IANS) Hitting out at Navjot Singh Sidhu, the BJP on Monday said that Punjab Congress chief is creating unwarranted fears in the minds of farmers by suggesting that the Centre had plans to do away with the MSP system.
On Sunday, in a series of tweets, Sidhu said that Centre's sinister plan to end MSP, end Food Security for the Poor, end government procurement and end PDS will continue without the farm laws, it will be now hidden and more dangerous.
In a series of tweets BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh accused Sidhu of creating unwarranted fear in the minds of farmers. "Punjab PCC President Navjot Sidhu is creating unwarranted fears in the minds of farmers by suggesting that the Centre had plans to do away with the MSP system. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already assured farmers to strengthen the MSP system and to bring more crops under the cover. At no stage has the Centre indicated about dispensing with the MSP system." Chugh said.
Chugh claimed that Sidhu is making such comments for cheap politics. "Navjot Sidhu, for his cheap politics, wants to perpetuate unrest among farmers by cooking up imaginary ideas. It is not just deplorable and reprehensible but disgusting to see him plot his political relevance on the basis of falsehood and cheating," he said.
Chugh further said, "It is a clear ploy on the part of Navjot Sidhu to divert the nation's attention and worry over his love for Pakistan Prime Minister. When the entire nation has been castigating Sidhu for demonstrating his adoration for Imran Khan, Sidhu chose to switch gear to the farmers' issue on false and misleading propaganda."
He assured that Prime Minister Modi is always committed to the welfare of farmers and would not take any step which does not help in their prosperity and growth.
On Sunday, Sidhu tweeted, "Today, as we rejoice in our victory against Centre's three Black Laws... Our real work has just begun, Centre's sinister plan to end MSP, end Food Security for the Poor, end government procurement and end PDS will continue without the farm laws, it will be now hidden and more dangerous."
The ministry said that all due protocols and norms relating to Covid-19, as notified by the Union Health Ministry from time to time, shall be adhered to by the foreign tourists, the carriers bringing them to India and all other stakeholders at the landing stations.
Tamil Nadu farmers association Deputy Secretary, P.S. Masilamani, who had participated in the farmers' agitation in New Delhi, told IANS that the farmers of Cauvery delta are "disturbed and outraged by the mowing down of fellow farmers and we are conducting peaceful protest marches in solidarity with the farmers of Lakhimpur Kheri."
A total of 28 civilians have been killed by terrorists in Kashmir in 2021, IG Kashmir Vijay Kumar said in a statement on Thursday. The statement further said that in all such cases, the terrorists used pistols.
Farmers allege that the minister's son was in one of the cars that mowed the farmers. Ashish has been named in the FIR lodged in connection with the incident under IPC Section 302 (murder).
Fortunately, no one is injured in the incident, which was the fourth such case in Bengaluru in the last 15 days. The families who lived in the apartment managed to escape as soon as they got the first indication.
According to the farmer leaders, the last rites of three farmers was performed as wish of their families and with full customs. While one family, demanding the re-postmortem, has refused to perform the cremation.
