On this occasion, BJP MLA Ashwani Sharma, Jangi Lal Mahajan and about two dozen former MLAs of the party were also present along with Mr. Jakhar.
“The Assembly is the most appropriate forum to resolve the issues and I am here today to remind Bhagwant Mann and his so-called opposition Congress of their constitutional duty to explain to the people of Punjab that even if MSP of 23 crops were guaranteed If yes, then what will happen? Will they benefit? He was talking to journalists outside the Assembly here.
Accusing Aam Aadmi Party and Congress of directly provoking protests by sending innocent farmers to the border, he said that this is the reason why Shubhakaran died tragically. – Full support price is available on one grain and apart from these two, no other crop is profitable for us. crops.
He said, “I ask Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Bhagwant Mann, Pratap Singh Bajwa and Raja Waring, who are self-proclaimed advocates of our farmers, to tell me which of the remaining 21 crops they are willing to grow. ” , You name that crop and I will guarantee you minimum support price from the Center on it, Jakhar challenged these leaders to have the courage to tell the truth to the farmers and not let youth like Shubhakaran die for their political ambitions. .
Reiterating that Punjab's groundwater is depleting rapidly, Jakhar said the Chief Minister should persuade farmers to return from the state border and start smoothly trading in perishable fruits and vegetables, including kinnow. Jakhar reminded the Chief Minister about the visit of business companies seeking investment to Punjab and said that if we keep the borders closed by instigating people, then how can we assume that industries will be attracted towards Punjab.
Warning those who are trying to malign the image of Punjab for their own purposes, Jakhar said that today our state is being forced to fight someone else's battle. He said that in fact the people of other states are upset with the MSP that the farmers of Punjab are getting on paddy and wheat and that is why instead of fighting their own fight, they are dragging Punjab into this fight. He said that of course we sympathize with those people but we cannot put the interests of the youth of our Punjab in danger.
