YAD activists burn effigies of PM Modi, Capt Amarinder

Mohali, January 9

Youth Akali Dal (YAD) activists, led by its president Parmbans Singh Romana, burnt effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh here today.

Protests were today held at all district headquarters as per a call given by the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). The activists held a protest in front of Gurdwara Singh Shaheedan, Sohana, here. They burnt the effigies of both leaders and raised slogans.

Addressing the protesters, Parmbans Singh Romana alleged that on one hand, Punjab Cabinet Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu admitted in his press conference that the farm laws had been implemented in the state by the government, while on the other Capt Amarinder Singh was trying to befool farmers and the common man with his malicious, false and misleading statements.

Romana said on the directions of the BJP-led Central Government, Capt Amarinder was targeting those writers and singers who had supported the farm protests. He said the state government was dancing to the tune of the Centre and trying to cause maximum damage to the farmers’ agitation. The YAD would give a befitting reply to these conspiracies being hatched by the state government.

YAD Mohali (Urban) president Parvinder Singh Sohana asked the Central and the state governments to stop their conspiracies against the farmers’ agitation and stop targeting writers and singers. Otherwise, the YAD would launch a strong agitation against both governments. — TNS
