Stir cannot be suppressed, says Cheema

Chandigarh: Accusing the Centre of stopping the supply of electricity and water at the farmers’ agitation sites and using the police to end the movement, leader of opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema on Friday said the Centre was trying to crush farmers protest, but farmers were not going to kneel before the government’s repression. Cheema said the BJP was sending its people to protest against farmers and was trying to intimidate them. “It was very unfortunate that now the Modi government is stopping water supply to farmers, who feed the entire country,” said Cheema. The AAP leader said it was sad that when AAP leaders reached the Singhu border with water tankers, the Delhi police stopped them. He said during the Parliament session, AAP MPs Bhagwant Mann and Sanjay Singh were not allowed inside Parliament because last time they raised slogans in support of the farmers in front of PM Modi in the Central Hall of Parliament. “With this fear, the Modi government today violated the dignity of democracy and prevented elected MPs of AAP from entering Parliament,” said Cheema.
