Jakhar slams Centre over farmers' plight

Ropar, Chandigarh, Oct 27 (UNI) President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Sunil Jakhar on Friday alleged that to hide its failures, the Modi government at the Centre was hell bent upon destroying the federal structure of the country.
The President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, while interacting with the farmers, arthiyas and labourers under his mass contact program here today to awaken the people against the anti-farmers ordinances said that the bills passed by the Modi government would have castigating effect on the farmers and the labourers. He said that during the mass interaction major thrust would be laid on making the people aware about how the bills passed by the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh would safeguard the interests of the farmers from the anti-farmers stance of Union government. Mr. Jakhar said that earlier in the international arena one nation used to put economic restrictions on the other but for the first time in the history of the country Modi government has unleashed this regime against the states.
Citing the examples, the President of Punjab Pradesh Congress said that by not giving the share of the state in GST to Punjab and now by stopping movement of Goods train in the state, the Modi government was targeting Punjab as its farmers were raising voice against the draconian bills of the Union government. He said that this attitude of the Modi government was the blatant violation of the federal structure in the country. Mr. Jakhar said that the bills passed by Union government would ruin the agrarian economy of the state besides being fatal for the aarthiyas, transporters, small traders and labourers.
