KATHUA, Jan 10: Former MLA Billawar and president DCC Kathua, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma today alleged that farmers’ protest is the result of BJP’s politics of `lies and deceit’.
Addressing public meeting in Dinga Amb area of Billawar Assembly today Manohar criticized NDA Govt at Centre for its adamant anti-farmer, anti-people attitude and said present farmers protest in the country is result of BJP’s politics of `Jhooth & Fareb’.
He said farmers are representing 130 crores people of the country and he feels immense pain when these farmers are outraged by terming them as anti-nationals by BJP leaders. He also slammed remarks made by the BJP leaders on farmers’ protest, calling it “most unfortunate and condemnable. The government must find an amicable solution and address the grievances of farmers sympathetically instead of blaming them as gangs of anti-national elements.
He said farmers are protesting in a peaceful manner. Their protest is for their most genuine concerns, which the government is ignoring. “The farmers are fighting for their legitimate rights and their protests are getting support from every section of society .The farm laws that are not in the interest of the farming community must be taken back but Prime Minister Modi has time to meet industrialists, but not farmers,” he regretted.
“The entire country depends on the farmers. It is time that this Government should embrace them as well. People have lost faith in the BJP. Around 70 farmers have sacrifices their lives for abolishment of these draconian farm laws by BJP government, ” he maintained.
He said for the first time in history of the country that instead of celebrating, farmers were forced to hit the streets on “KisanDiwas” . He said BJP cannot suppress the voice of the farmers.
Senior members D S Bindu, BDC Chairman Brijeshawar Indu,Sarpanch Kulbushan Singh, Dalvir Sethi, SarpanchThakur RajinderSingh, Sushma Choudhary , Kundan Lal Sharma , Madan Lal Sharma and others were also present.
