CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal President Giani Harpreet Singh has made it clear that the political light wrestling being played by the ruling parties of the Centre and Punjab needs to stop and that both the ruling parties should focus on solving issues related to the state.
Shiromani Akali Dal President Giani Harpreet Singh said that the parties associated with both the ruling parties are trying to divert attention from the real issues of the people of Punjab under a political drama. Today, everyone is worried about the latest situation in Punjab. The condition of the state is getting worse in every region. Instead of taking a serious decision on these conditions, the path of political light wrestling was taken.
Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh said that today the farmers of Punjab are suffering due to the apathy of both the governments. Due to the absence of any industrial policy, large industrial plots are being moved out of the state. The youth are facing unemployment and no new job creation efforts are being made. Drugs have not been curbed, but a permanent solution has not been found. Gangsterism is increasing day by day, which has severely disrupted the law and order situation.
Along with this, Giani Harpreet Singh said that as per the promise of its manifesto, the AAP government has failed to give Rs 1100 per month to women and has not given Rs 2500 per month as pension. Along with this, the talk of Shagun scheme of Rs 1, 25, 000 is almost a blank no.
Due to the mutual collusion between the central and state governments, no decision is being taken on the important issue of Bandi Singhs. Punjab should get control of BBMB. Punjab should get special economic packages on the lines of Himachal being a border state. Along with this, Giani Harpreet Singh demanded from the central government that today a large number of Punjabis from every part of Punjab have settled in countries like Canada and America, therefore flights should be started from Punjab to Canada and America immediately. To strengthen Punjab economically, all the airports of Punjab should be declared dry ports immediately and trade relations with neighboring countries should be facilitated. Giani Harpreet Singh demanded from the central government that the outstanding amount of RDF should be released immediately, so that the condition of link roads of rural areas can be improved with this money.
Shiromani Akali Dal President Giani Harpreet Singh said in his statement that, today, to weaken the regional party, both political parties are trying to weaken the political party of the state by joining hands with the fake Akali Dal. Under this political agreement, the accused of the Bargari sacrilege case are being saved and the investigation is being influenced to save the main accused of the Behbal Kalan firing incident.
Shiromani Akali Dal President Giani Harpreet Singh appealed to the people of Punjab that today there is a need to stop the political parties that are following the dictates of these Delhi rulers.
He said that the leaders who impose their politics on the heads of Punjabis through falsehood, war and quarrels have probably forgotten that there have been many such rulers, Punjabis have never compromised with their pride.
