Modi Govt betrays Punjab Farmers , Says Patiala MP Preneet Kaur

Patiala ,03 Oct 2020 -The Lok Sabha Member from Patiala Preneet Kaur on Saturday said that the Modi Government had betrayed the farmers of Punjab , who contributed by filling up the foodgrains of the country and did not allow the country to beg from any foreign country in testing times of food crisis.  She was interacting with the media persons here today on the occasion of flagging off the cycle rally organised by the  Mayor of the Municipal Corporation , Sanjeev Sharma Bittu from Raghomajra to create awareness against Dengue dedicated to her birthday.
Describing the agriculture laws passed by the Union government as anti-farmer and far-sighted, the Lok Sabha member said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had played the role of an irresponsible leader by passing the law which would have dire consequences.  She said that Modi government had laid the foundation of the ruin of farmers by ignoring its background before passing these laws.  Preneet Kaur said that the Congress Government of Punjab under the leadership of Capt. Amarinder Singh would fight the battle of farmers with full support of the farmers.
Replying to a query about the strategy adopted by the Akali Dal and the visit of Rahul Gandhi to Punjab, Preneet Kaur said that the proposed visit of Rahul Gandhi to Punjab to lead a tractor rally was a non-political decision to support the peasant movement.  However, the resignation of Harsimrat Kaur from the Union Cabinet should have been made a long time ago.  She said that Akali Dal had already lost its political base and now it has lost its credibility too.  Whereas strongly condemning the Hathras gangrape in UP,  She further said that the culprits should be punished severely.
