Chandigarh, February 11 : The Shiromani Akali Dal attacked  PPCC Chief Capt. Amarinder Singh on his statement regarding the issue of debt waiver for farmers and said that former CM is shedding crocodile tears to mislead the miserable farmers of the state and also said that what S. Parkash Singh Badal has done  and is doing for the farmers of the state is well known not only to the farmers of the state but to the farmers of the whole country. He had never missed an opportunity to raise the issue of farmers as at any platform in the country.

In a statement released from the party head office here today, the SAD Secretary and Spokesman and Punjab Education Minister Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said that Capt Amarinder Singh has no moral authority to issue such statements. He asked Capt Amarinder Singh that why he remained silent at a time when the previous Congress led UPA government highly discriminated with the poor farmers of the Punjab when a debt waiver package of 70 thousand crores was announced in the country. Hardly one percent of the farmers of Punjab were covered in that package ignoring the gross reality that Punjab contributes to more than 50 percent of food requirements of the Nation. He also reminded Capt. Amarinder Singh that Mrs. Preneet Kaur was also a minister in that particular government. ‘Did he kept quite simply because his family was rewarded with a Ministerial birth ?” asked Dr. Cheema

Coming down heavily on the former Chief Minister the SAD Spokesman said that when Capt. Amarinder Singh got an opportunity to lead the state as Chief Minister instead of  rewarding the farmers with some additional benefits, he preferred to snatch the  free power facility provided by the SAD-BJP government led by S. Parkash Singh Badal to the farmers of the state. This exposed his real face at the time of his being in power which showed that he is highly anti farmer and anti poor.

Dr. Cheema strongly condemned Capt. Amarinder Singh for opposing an amendment in the SGPC act. ‘With this the cat has come out of bag’ said Dr. Cheema. He said that from his statement it has become clear now that the Congress party was instrumental in stalling the elected  house of SGPC from performing its constitutional duty.

The SAD  also reminded the former CM that people of the state still remember all the blunders committed by him and all the conspiracies hatched by him to weaken the SGPC. He said that people of the state are well prepared to teach the Congress party a lesson in 2017 assembly elections.
