*Arrest of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal is condemnable act said by Selja  

Chandigarh : The General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee, former Union Minister, and MP from Sirsa, Kumari Selja said that farmers were agitating earlier and continue to do so today, but the BJP government has not lived up to its promises. The truth is that farmers are the most neglected in the BJP government. Even today, farmers stand in lines for fertilizers, seeds, and other facilities. Farmers are wandering for DAP and other fertilizers for sowing potatoes, wheat, and other crops. The government should solve their problems through dialogue by gaining the farmers’ trust. Kumari Selja condemned the arrest of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal before he began a fast unto death at the Khanauri border of Haryana-Punjab, saying that if the government does not change its attitude, one day the country’s farmers will change the government itself.
In a statement released to the media, Kumari Selja said that if the BJP government is talking about doubling figures based on its own statistics, isn’t that an injustice and betrayal to the farmers? The situation is such that it is difficult for a farmer to get by even for a month, and he does not know what he will do next month or five months from now. Farmers know that the BJP government is a government of empty promises. Due to the dictatorship of the central government, farmers, the food providers, are surrounded by crises from all sides. This government is completely indifferent to the problems of the farmers. Corruption and inefficiency dominate the entire system in the BJP government. This government’s attitude has always been neglectful towards farmers. BJP’s policies are anti-farmer and exploitative. Farmers are being exploited at every level. Farmers across the country have understood BJP’s lies and exploitation. Farmers will no longer tolerate this government.

Kumari Selja said that if the government had resolved the farmers’ problems, there would be no farmer agitation anywhere. Farmers were agitating earlier, and they are doing so now. Instead of giving assurances, the government should take meaningful steps to resolve their problems, fulfill the promises made to the farmers, and address the remaining issues through dialogue. Farmers should be called together for discussions. She condemned the arrest of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal before he began a fast unto death at the Khanauri border of Haryana-Punjab, saying that if the government does not change its attitude, one day the country’s farmers will change the government itself. Kumari Selja said that while farmers are protesting to make their voices heard by the government, they are arrested and put in jail for raising their voices, or their voices are suppressed by wielding batons.
