New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National convener and Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday alleged that the BJP-led central government is planning to reintroduce the three repealed farm laws as a “policy” through the backdoor.
Kejriwal accused the BJP of refusing to engage in dialogue with farmers, despite their prolonged protests.
“Farmers in Punjab have been protesting and sitting on indefinite hunger strikes for several days. Their demands are the same as those that the central government agreed to three years ago but has yet to implement,” Kejriwal claimed.
“The BJP government has now gone back on its promises. The BJP government isn’t even talking to the farmers. At least talk to them—they are farmers of our own country. Why is the BJP so arrogant that they refuse to even engage in dialogue?,” he questioned.
Kejriwal further said, “The farmers sitting on indefinite hunger strikes in Punjab—may God keep them safe—but if anything happens to them, the BJP will be responsible.”
“For the information of farmers across the country, let me inform you that the three black laws that the central government repealed three years ago due to the farmers’ protests are being prepared to be reintroduced by the government as a “policy” through the back door,” he said
“A copy of this policy has been sent to all states by the central government to gather their views,” Kejriwal claimed.
