The tyrannical use of brute force against peacefully protesting farmers is totally undemocratic &amp; unconstitutional,&#8221; he said, asserting that \u201cthe hands that feed the nation deserve to be held, not pushed aside.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terming it a \u201csad irony\u201d that on Constitution Day, the constitutional right of farmers to protest was being suppressed, the Chief Minister flayed the use of brute force by the Haryana police, which had used water cannons and tear gas in a bid to stop the Punjab farmers from marching through the state and had not allowed farmer from Haryana to move out of their villages in many places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What was the need for violence, Captain Amarinder asked, pointing out that the farmers had been protesting for the past 2 months in Punjab without any problem, even though the state had suffered crores of rupees in losses. There had been no violence or law and order problem in Punjab, he observed, terming the Haryana government\u2019s actions as provocative. &#8220;For nearly 2 months farmers have been protesting peacefully in Punjab without any problem. Why is Haryana govt provoking them by resorting to force? Don&#8217;t the farmers have the right to pass peacefully through a public highway?&#8221; he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Minister urged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) central leadership to direct their state governments not to indulge in such strong-arm tactics against the farmers. Let the farmers be heard by the central government, let their concerns be addressed, he said, calling for peaceful resolution of the farmers\u2019 concerns in national interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal\u2019s condemnation of the use of force against farmers in Haryana, Captain Amarinder raised doubts over the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader\u2019s sincerity towards the farmers\u2019 cause, asking why the Delhi government had failed to bring its own laws in the state Assembly to counter the dangers of the central farm laws. \u201cKejriwal is just playing to the gallery, the fact is that he neither cares for the farmers nor is interested in protecting them,\u201d said the Punjab Chief Minister, urging his Delhi counterpart to stand firmly with the farmers instead of indulging in double standards, if he really cared about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASKS WHY KHATTAR GOVT WAS STOPPING FARMERS, TERMS USE OF FORCE AS UNDEMOCRATIC &amp; UNCONSTITUTIONAL Chandigarh, November 26- Strongly condemning Haryana&rsquo;s forcible attempts to stop farmers from marching to Delhi in protest against the Farm Laws, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh warned the BJP-led government against pushing them to the brink.
