CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Sunam MLA Aman Arora, expressed surprise over chief minister Amarinder Singh’s statement while presenting the Bills that it could not be said for sure whether or not these will get approval from the Governor, the Parliament and the President of India.
Speaking on the contentious agriculture Bills on the floor of the Punjab assembly on Tuesday, Arora said that his party had always championed the cause of the farmers, alleging that the chief minister was not at all serious about the issue linked to the future of the peasantry in the state.
Arora also questioned the Congress government on whether simply by repealing the controversial farm laws, awarding stringent punishment for three years to those involved in procuring crops below MSP and declaring the whole of Punjab a single market yard solved the problem of the farmers who were fighting the big battle on the roads?
He added that the moot question was not about declaring MSP but definitely procurement of crops, adding that if the private buyers did not turn up to procure the produce or in case the Centre refrained from issuing CCLs in two years, then the Punjab government should guarantee on its own the procurement of entire grain at MSP by bringing it under the ambit of the law.
The AAP MLA accused the Punjab government of colluding with the union government in clearing the way for enforcing the central agriculture laws in Punjab. Presenting the documents to the media, he said that a private company had allegedly swindled away Rs 2.70 crore from the public exchequer in Abohar in the purchase of Kinnow crop citing the new farm laws.
