CHANDIGARH: The Leader of the Opposition (LoP), Partap Singh Bajwa on Saturday the Punjab Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, who also holds the home portfolio must register an FIR against the Haryana Home Minister, Anil Vij for giving the police direction to fire at the peacefully protesting farmers in Punjab's territory.
Addressing the media, Bajwa said that with his directions police opened fire at the farmers, consequently, Shubhkaran Singh was shot dead and several dozens of other farmers were badly injured.
Lambasting the Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Bajwa said that the Punjab CM failed terribly to protect the farmers of the Punjab.
"Punjab police should have been deployed at the front line and farmers should have been made to stand 1000 yards away from the border to provide them a shield. Haryana police should have acted only when the farmers have entered Haryana territory", Bajwa added.
Senior Congress Leader said that the Punjab CM didn't stand with the farmers honestly. 92 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and ministers never supported the genuine demands of the farmers. Punjab CM represented the Union Government in meetings between farmers and the Union government.
"As many as 250 farmers were injured and one farmer was murdered by Haryana police by using tear gas shells, rubber bullets and double-barrel guns. However, the Punjab government failed to hold anyone responsible", Bajwa added.
