Charuni makes pitch for no-trust motion

KURUKSHETRA: Following the call of Sanyukta Kisan Morcha, Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) Haryana (Charuni) state president Gurnam Singh Charuni asked farmers in the state to protest and submit memoranda to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) or independent MLAs concerned on March 9, asking them to support the no-confidence motion against the coalition government on March 10. Charuni also called for social boycott of MLAs who do not support the motion. In a video released on Sunday night, Charuni said, “Haryana session is about to begin and this time, a no-confidence motion is being brought in Haryana Vidhan Sabha against the new farm laws. You should submit memoranda to all BJP, JJP and independent MLAs and organise one-day protest at their residences on March 9, asking them to support the no-confidence motion so that this government breaks and accepts farmers’ demands.” “Warnings should also be served to these MLAs that if they do not oppose farm laws, they will be boycotted everywhere, including socially and in the elections as well”, said Charuni in his video. When questioned why BKU Haryana (Charuni) is indulging in state politics despite being a farm union, especially when Congress has brought the no-confidence motion against BJP-JJP government in Haryana, union state general secretary Harpal Sudhal said this is not about politics. “It has nothing to do with Congress party only. On March 9, we are going to give memoranda even to MLAs from BJP, JJP and independents. Any party or leader who supports the farmers’ movement and takes a stand against the Centre government’s three agri-marketing laws is welcomed by our union. There is no influence of any particular political party or leaders,” he said.
