Punjab govt : In the second sitting of the two-day special Assembly Session, the LoP, Partap Singh Bajwa, on Tuesday lent conditional support for the resolution brought by the Punjab govt against the center govt’s draft of the National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing.
Speaking in the assembly, Bajwa said that the draft of the National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing is going to be fatal for the farming sector of Punjab and the Congress is prepared to support the Punjab govt against the same. “The Punjab Congress can do anything to defend the interests of Punjab. We don’t even shy away from fighting together with the Punjab govt to protect the rights and causes of Punjab,” Bajwa added.
Terming the BJP as the anti-Punjab party, Bajwa said that the BJP is hell-bent on weakening Punjab both economically and politically. The BJP only serves the interests of multinational companies and big corporations and is least bothered about working for the interests of farmers and other unprivileged sections.
