Channi showing sharp attitude on farmer issue

CM Charanjit Channi is also showing a sharp attitude on the farmer issue. He reached Raj Bhavan late on Monday evening in connection with the violence in Lakhimpuri Kheri. There he met Governor BL Purohit. He was handed over a demand letter in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding justice to the victims and repeal of the controversial agricultural reform law. In the cabinet meeting held late Monday evening, tributes were paid to the farmers killed in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.

Agricultural laws have become root of quarrel: CM Channi

After meeting the Governor, CM Channi said that the Lakhimpur Kheri incident is wrong and illegitimate. The arrest of the accused was demanded after meeting the governor. The whole reason for this is the three agrarian reform laws of the central government, due to which the economic condition of Punjab is also being harmed. Agricultural laws have become the root of conflict. This demand letter has been given so that the environment does not deteriorate further and people should have faith in the government of the country.
