These are the 3 reasons, due to which action in the farmers’ protests in Punjab

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has suddenly abolished the farmer movement in Punjab for the last one year. Arvind Kejriwal’s recent visit to Punjab, complaints of Ludhiana’s traders and Ludhiana by -election are being described as the main reason behind this decision. The government has removed the farmers from demonstrations, which has caused the political atmosphere. According to sources, the industrialists of Ludhiana told AAP leadership Arvind Kejriwal that if the farmers’ performance on Shambhu and Khanouri border continues, the party would not get votes in the Ludhiana by -elections. Traders said that these demonstrations are causing huge loss to their business. Let us know that the demonstration was going on for a year and it was affecting the business and transport. The Punjab government had already planned this action. Two days ago, water cannons and heavy police forces were sent to both the border. Today we are going to tell you about those 3 reasons, due to which the Punjab government had to decide to remove the peasant movement sites after one year.

• Ludhiana by -election and political pressure

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was expected to suffer losses in the important by -elections in Ludhiana. Local industrialists had clearly stated that if the performance continues, they would not vote for AAP. This political pressure inspired the government to take action.

• Economic loss

The business and transport sector of Punjab was suffering heavy losses due to the peasant movement. In particular, industrialists from Ludhiana demanded an immediate solution from the government. The government took this step keeping in mind the economic interests.

• Law and order

Long -term protests of farmers were deteriorating law and order, so action was necessary. The Punjab government removed the temporary structures with the help of JCB machines late on Wednesday night.

How were the farmers removed?

On Wednesday, the Punjab government got a chance when the two farmer leaders came to meet Union Ministers Piyush Goyal, Shivraj Singh Chauhan and Prahlad Joshi in Chandigarh. This meeting did not reach any conclusion. When both the farmer leaders started returning to the Shambhu border, the Punjab Police took them into custody as soon as they entered the border. Shortly thereafter, the Punjab Police raided the Shambhu and Khanouri border and also took the farmers present there into custody. The temporary structures created by the farmers were removed with the help of JCB machines. By late night, both the protest sites were completely evacuated.

Opposition parties targeted

Opposition parties Congress and BJP have strongly opposed this decision of the government. he/she has accused the AAP government of cheating farmers and stabbing the back. Some political analysts believe that the decision has been taken for the purpose of winning the Ludhiana by -election, so that Arvind Kejriwal can be sent to Rajya Sabha. The Punjab government says that this decision was taken under compulsion, as the state’s economy was being harmed by the peasant movement. Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that farmers can go to Delhi and demonstrate because their complaints are mainly from the Central Government, not from the Punjab government.
