BJP is calling farmers who feed country as 'Pakistani agents': AAP

Chandigarh/UNI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab on Thursday took offence to the statement of Rao Saheb Danve, Union Minister of State in the Narendra Modi government in which he reportedly labelled the agitating farmers as 'agents of Pakistan and China'.

In a statement issued from party headquarters on Thursday, state president and Sangrur MP, Bhawant Mann said the Modi dispensation should tell its motor-mouthed ministers that no "Pakistan and no China were behind the ongoing massive Kisan movement."

Mann said the Modi government should never forget that it is the brave sons of the agitating farmers who are guarding the country's frontiers against China and Pakistan.

He said the Modi government was indulging in a vilification campaign against the farmers and maligning both the farmers and jawans of the country to appease the corporate houses.

The Sangrur MP further said the Centre should bear in mind that its "nefarious design would never succeed in weakening the farmers' struggle which has emerged as a people's movement in the country."

Mann said behind this peasant movement were the people of the country from all sections of society, including traders, students, men, women and others who stood rock solid behind the ongoing struggle being fought on the Delhi-Haryana borders amid cold and chilling winter nights.

He said with the movement is growing stronger by the day. "Not only the BJP and the Modi government but China and Pakistan are also under apprehension," he added.
