SAD to hold protest on Monday against Cong, AAP

Ludhiana: Accusing Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of misguiding people of Punjab and being hand in glove, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) will be holding a protest on Monday against both the parties. All prominent leaders and workers have been conveyed by the topmost district-level office bearers to stay present in this agitation, which will be held at Janta Nagar Chowk. The protest will be led by SAD’s Atam Nagar incharge Gurmeet Singh Kular and leaders from the youth wing as well. Kular claimed, “Both AAP and Congress are fooling people by pretending to to be ‘enemies’, but in reality both are hand in glove with each other. On the one side, AAP has been opposing the anti farm laws and projecting that the party is the well wisher of the farmers. But in Delhi, where it has its government, it has made these laws applicable. Same kind of drama is being played by the Congress. Consent was given by the Congress leaders, including chief minister Amarinder Singh, for the laws, but when Congress leaders realised that they have committed a blunder, they started propagating that Congress has been opposing the farm laws from day one.” According to Kular, Congress has been harassing people with high rates of power and new taxes on all sections of society. “It has failed miserably to govern the state. It did not even fulfil a single promise it made in its election manifesto and cheated the people of the state by coming into power on false promises. As far as AAP is concerned, it has been proven that it is Congress’s B team and both work in a way that mutually benefit them. AAP leaders, who should be in Delhi serving the people who elected them, are camping in Punjab to divert attention of people. But SAD has now decided to expose both these parties and that is why we have called for tomorrow’s protest, which is the beginning of a campaign against these anti-people and opportunist parties,” alleged Kular.
