How much longer will you wait to get Farm Bills passed by Punjab Assembly implemented: Harsimrat Kaur Badal
Farmers Protest: Former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Friday asked chief minister, Captain Amarinder Singh, to tell Punjabis how much longer he would wait before exercising legal options to ensure the three farm bills, passed unanimously in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha eighty days back to counter the ill effects of the hated central farm laws 2020.
“Going by the current scenario you seem to have even forgotten you initiated the move to get the three Bills passed in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha in the same manner in which a resolution rejecting the erstwhile Farm Ordinances was also passed but never forwarded to the center”, Harsimrat Kaur Badal told the chief minister.

Badal said the go-slow policy adopted by the chief minister on pursuing the three Farm Bills whose implementation would put Punjab out of the purview of the anti-Punjab and anti-farmer central Agricultural laws clearly indicated that he was purposely delaying action on the issue.
“The recent manner in which you have bent over backward to please the central government and even registered an attempt to murder cases against Punjabis speaking out against Punjab BJP leaders gives credence to reports that you are being remote-controlled by the union home ministry for reasons best known to you”.

Asking Captain Amarinder Singh not to adopt double standards on this crucial issue which concerned the future of the peasantry of Punjab, Badal said “you should spell out what legal options you have taken since the last eighty days to ensure justice is done to the farmers of Punjab in the case. If you have done nothing, which is the case, you should explain why you have failed the farmers of Punjab yet again”.
The former union minister also pointed that the chief minister could not wait endlessly for the Governor who was sitting on the Bills and not referring them to the President and still brazenly claim that the central laws had not been implemented in Punjab. Badal said the truth of the matter was already before the people.
