Deal between Capt and BJP over ED cases: AAP
Description
Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday accused Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh of not doing enough to support the cause of protesting farmers against the Centre’s farm laws. AAP Punjab co-incharge Raghav Chadha and state president Bhagwant Mann alleged that Capt Amarinder had “made a settlement with the Centre regarding his son’s ED cases” instead of supporting the farmers. “Why a secret meeting was held between Capt and Amit Shah? What had happened in the meeting? The people of Punjab want to know whether he had made a settlement with the Modi government for his son’s ED cases,” Chadha asked. He alleged that as part of a deal with PM Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, Capt Amarinder was “playing tricks to undermine the farmers’ movement in every way possible”. “After harassing farmers, the Centre is now troubling Punjab businessmen with income-tax raids at their offices and residences, because their only fault was supporting the farmers’ movement and providing them every possible help to make it more powerful,” he said.:
