Amarinder vows to fight till his last breath to protect Punjab farmers' interests

Chandigarh, Sep 20 (UNI) Vowing to fight till his last breath to protect the interests of the state’s farmers, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Sunday said his government will take the BJP and its allies, including the Akalis, to court over the new unconstitutional, undemocratic and anti-farmer laws of the central government.
“We will move the courts and fight the draconian legislations as soon as they get the presidential nod and become the law of the land,” he said, expressing shock at the way the BJP-led Union Government brute-forced the Agriculture Bills through the Rajya Sabha today.
The Chief Minister questioned the rationale behind putting the controversial and vicious Bills, which were a blatant encroachment of the State’s powers and control of the Agriculture sector, to voice vote, despite strong reservations by the Opposition and inadequate numbers in the House. Why did the House not go for division of votes on this critical issue, which has even divided the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), he asked.
