Time to Stand with PM Modi for His Stand in Favor of Farmers Against U.S. Pressure - Sunil Jakhar
Chandigarh, August 17: Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar has called on all stakeholders to set aside politics and stand united with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national interest for his resolute stand in favor of farmers against U.S. pressure.
The BJP state president stated that the U.S., which considers itself the global enforcer, has been continuously pressuring India to allow its agricultural products into Indian markets. To this end, the U.S. has imposed stringent tariff restrictions on India. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi understands that allowing U.S. agricultural products into India would devastate Indian farmers, and thus, he has refused to bow to this pressure.
Jakhar Urges Farmers to Support PM Modi for Protecting Their Interests Against U.S. Pressure
Jakhar emphasized that at a time when major global powers have succumbed to U.S. demands, Prime Minister Modi has prioritized the interests of Indian farmers and refused to open Indian markets to the U.S. He appealed to farmers and farmer organizations. He stated that this is the time to stand firmly with the Prime Minister in the interest of the nation. Doing so will enable him to fight for farmers’ rights with even greater resolve.
Sunil Jakhar further remarked that parties shedding crocodile tears over the Punjab government’s land pooling policy did little to pressure the government. Only the BJP made every possible effort to protect farmers’ land. They built public opinion against the policy. Due to the BJP’s pressure and the strong opposition from Punjab’s people, the government was forced to withdraw this policy. He added that the people of Punjab have now clearly understood who engages in politics. They know who does so in the name of farmers. They have also realized who truly stands with them in difficult times.
Jakhar stressed that this is the moment to identify those who exploit farmers’ names for political gain. These individuals do nothing substantial for them. In contrast, the BJP took a firm stand against the land pooling policy in Punjab and stood strongly with farmers. At the national level, Prime Minister Modi has taken on the U.S. to protect the interests of the country’s farmers. Jakhar urged everyone to seize this opportunity to support the Prime Minister in his efforts.
