CM to attend farmer meet in Punjab
Description
New Delhi: Chief minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal will address a kisan mahapanchayat against the three farm laws at Moga in Punjab on Sunday. In a statement, the party said Kejriwal has always stood with the farmers, who have been fighting for their rights at the Delhi’s borders for months. “AAP has ensured facilities, like drinking water, toilets and Wi-Fi to the farmers,” it said, while blaming Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh and Badals of SAD for helping in “bringing the three laws.” “A sustained agitation has been going on across the country. Farmers have been sitting at Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur borders for months. They have spent nights in bitter cold of Delhi, while hundreds of innocent farmers have sacrificed their lives,” the statement said. Kejriwal is scheduled to address the kisan mahapanchayat on April 4 at Huda Maidan in Jind, Haryana. Earlier, he had addressed a mahapanchayat in Meerut district in Uttar Pradesh.
