The PPCC chief, Capt Amarinder Singh, today warned Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal against “coercing Gobindpura (Mansa) farmers into submission” by using brute force and other intimidating methods.
Referring to recent “threats” issued by the Chief Minister to various farmers’ organisations, Capt Amarinder Singh said it was unbecoming of the Chief Minister to threaten his own people in such a manner. The PCC chief also warned Indiabulls against playing with the farmers’ interests asking it not to depend too much on this government “which is not going to survive for long”.
“This government will not last beyond four months from now and it will not be there to protect your interests”, he warned, adding that “the best thing for the company will be to compensate the farmers to their satisfaction and not to the satisfaction of Badal”.
