Condemning the issuance of notices by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to several farmers and their supporters in the midst of the anti-farm laws agitation, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh Monday said that “such arm-twisting tactics would not weaken the resolve of the farmers to fight for their rights and their future”.
“Do these farmers look like secessionists and terrorists?,” asked the Chief Minister, slamming the BJP-led government at the Centre for resorting to “such reprehensible and oppressive tactics in their desperation to undermine the peacefully protesting farmers’ fighting spirit”.
“these measures will not succeed in destroying the resolve of the farmers, rather the Centre will only end up provoking them into stronger reaction”.
