Chandigarh, May 25

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Assembly, Harpal Singh Cheema, said that the AAP fully supports the decision of the country’s farmers to observe May 26 as Black Day and urges the Union government to repeal the three black farm laws without delay. In a statement issued from the party headquarters here on Tuesday, Harpal Singh Cheema said that the Narendra Modi-led central government was forcibly enforcing three black laws related to agriculture; whereas farmers and laborers along with the agronomists were also protesting against the black laws.

Cheema said that the laws which were being opposed by the farmers, laborers and agronomists of the country; the BJP central government should not insist on imposing such black laws in the country. He alleged that the Union government had neither consulted with the farmers’ organisations nor with other political parties in the country to enact and implement the new agricultural laws. “PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have adopted a dictatorial attitude and issued an anti-farmer and anti-labor law,” said Cheema. He said that the farmers and labourers of the country had raised the banner of struggle against the dictatorial government run by the BJP in the country and the Aam Aadmi Party and the Delhi’s Arvind Kejriwal government stands shoulder to shoulder with the struggle of the farmers.

The LoP further said that the farmers of the country had been holding peaceful and service-oriented rallies on the borders of the national capital Delhi for the last six months to get the black laws repealed and hundreds of farmers have been martyred so that the government would listen to them and take back the laws. Cheema alleged that the Narendra Modi-led BJP government had remained silent and this repressive behavior of the central government had also been strongly criticised at the international level; which had severely damaged the image of the country. He appealed to the AAP leaders, workers and MLAs to join the farmers’ struggle on May 26 using black flags to wake up the BJP government, which is in slumber, lying in the lap of Ambani and Adani.
