CM ASSAILS MODI GOVERNMENT FOR METING OUT STEP MOTHERLY TREATMENT TO THE FARMERS

SAYS PM MORE INCLINED ON BECOMING ‘GLOBAL LEADER’ RATHER THAN SOLVING THE PROBLEMS FACED BY COUNTRYMEN

REMINDS MODI ABOUT IMMENSE CONTRIBUTION OF FARMERS IN MAKING COUNTRY SELF RELIANT IN FOOD PRODUCTION

SHUN YOUR HAUGHTY ATTITUDE AND OPEN WAY FOR DIALOGUE WITH THE AGITATING FARMERS: URGES THE CENTRE

Chandigarh, December 24:Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Tuesday slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led Union government for meting out step motherly treatment to the farmers by not even giving them an opportunity to air their genuine demands.

In a statement, the Chief Minister bemoaned that the ‘self proclaimed’ global leader Narendra Modi is more worried about intervening in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine but the Prime Minister is apathetic towards the food growers of the country. He said that the Union government has been blatantly ignoring the genuine demands of the farmers of the country which is highly deplorable. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is unfortunate that the Prime Minister is more worried about emerging as ‘global leader’ by intervening in international affairs rather than resolving the issues faced by the countrymen.

The Chief Minister reminded Narendra Modi that when the country was facing a serious crisis of food production the hard working and resilient farmers of the state had made the country self-reliant in grains. He said that the farmers of the state had even over exploited the only available natural resources in terms of fertile soil and water, just to fill the national food pool. However, Bhagwant Singh Mann said that despite the immense contribution of farmers, the Union government has adopted a completely hostile attitude towards them adding that it is strange that the Union government is not ready to talk to farmers sitting 200 kilometres away from national capital.

The Chief Minister advised the Union government to shun its haughty attitude and open way for dialogue with the agitating farmers. He said that the centre should not wait for any special moment to talk to the farmers, rather it should embrace the farmers and redress their grievances. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is the need of the hour that the issues of the farmers are addressed at the earliest in the larger public interest.
