Congress deflecting failure by blaming farmers: SAD

Description

The SAD today condemned Rural Development Minister Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa for trying to deflect the attention from the Congress government’s failure to combat the Covid-19 by blaming farmers engaged in the ‘kisan andolan’, saying the government should answer for its failures instead of defaming the ‘annadata’.SAD Kisan Wing president Sikander Singh Maluka said it was shocking that at a time when Punjab was in chaos due to the callousness of the Congress government, the latter was trying to paint farmers participating in the ‘dharnas’ against the three agricultural laws at Singhu and Tikri borders near Delhi as “super-spreaders”. — TNS
