Now, it is the turn of the cable mafia and things will be streamlined, he said.Īt Beas in Amritsar, Mr Channi dedicated a state-of-the-art building of newly constructed sub-tehsil complex. Now, permits of buses will be given to jobless youth for making them gainfully self-employed, he stated. Mr Channi claimed that the backbone of transport mafia allegedly operated by the Badals has been broken. He said now this nexus has been broken and the power is with the common man. The CM said an “elite and unholy nexus” of politicians across party line had excluded power from common man just to “loot” Punjab. He alleged that the Akalis were “hand in glove” with the BJP in bringing the “draconian laws”. Mr Channi also accused the Shiromani Akali Dal of being the “chief architect” of the laws, saying they had brought one such bill in thr Punjab Assembly, which became basis for the Union government to introduce the laws now. Mr Channi said state government will construct a memorial to those who died during the course of the agitation.
He said it is shameful that for the sake of their “vested political interests” some political leaders are bent on sacrificing the interests of the state. “The Punjabis must not sit idle but have to be extra vigilant until the entire process is completed,” he said.Īttacking those who are welcoming the PM’s announcement, Mr Channi asked them to explain the reason to rejoice as Punjab has lost more than 700 sons and daughters during the struggle. He said repealing of laws is baseless until the guarantee of minimum support price for crops is not given. Mr Channi on Saturday said conspiracies are being hatched to derail progress and prosperity of Punjab, adding that those who are welcoming the announcement of the PM are a part of this. “Prime minister Narendra Modi has just made an announcement regarding repealing of farm laws and Punjabis especially farmers need to be cautious until the farm laws are formally repealed,” said Channi after laying the foundation stone of a sugar mill here, according to an official release. The PM on Friday had announced that his government had decided to repeal the three farm laws, which were at the centre of protests by farmers for the past year. Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Saturday asked farmers to be cautious till the Centre’s farm laws are repealed, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just made an announcement on it.
