Visits grievously injured farmer at Govt Medical College
CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today demanded a government job be given to all victims of the Haryana police attack on farmers at Shambhu, even as he asked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to explain why no action had been taken against the Haryana police officials responsible for brutally injuring farmers in Punjab territory.
The SAD president met farmer Darshan Singh Bhangu of Ghanaur constituency who suffered a grievous eye injury in the Haryana police attack at the Government Medical College here and also interacted with thr farmer’s family members. He demanded a government job be given to Darshan as well as all other farmers who had been injured at Shambhu.
Asking chief minister Bhagwant Mann why he had not taken any action against the Haryana police till now, Mr Sukhbir Badal said “it is clear that the AAP government is hand in glove with the Haryana government and is working in tandem with its Haryana counterpart to prevent farmers from moving towards Delhi”.
Mr Badal also asked the Haryana government not to kill democracy by using brutal force to suppress farmers. “It is inconceivable that the annadaata who wants to put up his case before the centre is being persecuted like this”.
Mr Badal also asked the centre to accept the demands of farmers at the earliest. He said the centre should immediately announce the acceptance of all demands which it had assured to accept two years back in writing. “Other demands of farmers should also be considered sympathetically”, he added.
Senior leaders Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra, Dr Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi, Harinder Singh Chandumajra, Tejinder Singh Middukhera and Sukhdeep Singh Sukarpur accompanied the SAD president.
