The co-president of Aam Aadmi Party(AAP), Aman Arora on Sunday criticised the action of Punjab government against the farmers going to protest against Narendra Modi-led Central government in Delhi.

In a press statement, Arora questioned why Captain Amarinder Singh-led Congress government in Punjab was stopping the farmers to raise their voice against the Centre.

Arora said, “The farmers were protesting for a long time to pressurize the Centre to implement Swaminathan Commission report and other demands promised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) before elections. It was understandable that BJP led Haryana government was obstructing the agitating farmers as they wanted to reach to Delhi and agitate against their own government at Centre but why Captain Amarinder government was doing it?”

Arora said that the Punjab government in an authoritarian way has taken activist of Bhartiya Kissan Union (Sidhupur) into custody without any reason at Cheema Mandi as the farmers were marching peacefully towards Delhi.

Captain Amarinder-led Punjab government has betrayed the farmers of Punjab on the tune of Centre led Modi government.  People of the state have been cheated twice earlier by BJP and then by Congress Party, he added.
