| "Agar kisan hai to desh hai", protect them: Bhardwaj | | |  Early Times Report
BISHNAH, Dec 9: The emergence of a strong India is directly related to the socio-economic conditions of the farming community. "Agar kisan hai to desh hai, agar kisan nahin to desh bhi nahin", said senior Congress leader and member AICC, Mohinder Bhardwaj.
Addressing an impressive and well attended public meeting here in support of the Congress candidate for DDC elections (Bishnah block), senior Congress leader Mohinder Bhardwaj lamented that the BJP and its so called strong leaders must bear this hard reality in mind and stop making mindless statements in the name of farmers' welfare and their upliftment. Had there been any truth in their statements the farmers would not have been protesting on the roads day and night in these harsh wintry conditions. He criticized the Narendra Modi Government for not accepting the just demands of the farmers to withdraw the three anti-farmer laws that were passed hurriedly in the two Houses of Parliament without any discussion. The protesting farmers have already clarified that they had neither demanded these laws nor were they consulted. It clearly shows that the laws have been brought by the Government with the interests of the big corporates in mind and not the farmers, he added.
He accused the Government and the BJP of letting down both farmers and soldiers of the country in the matter of protecting their interests. The farmers are protesting on the roads for their existence at a time when they should have been in their fields. On the other hand the Government had humiliated the soldiers and ex-servicemen on the issue of grant of One-Rank-One-Pension (OROP). Ruing on the plight of the farmers in the border areas of Bishnah, Bhardwaj said that they are the real "desh bhakats" as they not only produce food grains to feed the entire nation their your children also defend the country by joining the armed forces.
Bharat Bhushan (Bunty), Diwan Chand Khajuria, Sat Pal Zharma, Subedar Raja Ram Khajuria, Jagdish Raj, Kuldeep Khajuria Retd. Insp, Former Sarpanch G.L Gandhi and others also spoke on the occasion. |
