Punjab Cong kicked off farmer outreach programme in Punjab
Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh today kicked off the party’s door-to-door farmer outreach programme Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has assured Farmers In UP to waive their Loans
He launched the programme, ‘Karza Kurki Khatam – Fasal Di Poori Rakam’, by visiting the house of Budh Singh, a small farmer who owns two acres of land at Kotli Surat Malhi in Gurdaspur.
Amarinder personally visited the farmer, who is reeling under a debt burden of Rs 4.5 lakh, to get the ‘maangpatra’ (proforma) seeking a debt waiver signed.
He handed over the receipt for the ‘maangpatra’ to Budh Singh as his “personal promise” to waive his debt if the Congress formed the government in Punjab next year.
The campaign to reach out to the debt-ridden farmers in the state will go on till October 25.
Amarinder said there were tens of thousands of farmers reeling under a debt burden in the state and many of whom had committed suicide.
Amarinder also assured the ‘aarthiyas’ (commission agents) that the money owed to them by the farmers would be paid by the government.
Similarly, the loans of the banks would also be repaid by the government after his party came to power, he said.
Asked how would his party pay off such a huge debt, Amarinder said the Centre had saved Rs 3 lakh crore on the Oil Import Bill and the Congress has been asking it to use some of this money to waive farmers’ loans.
He claimed that the Centre had written off Rs 115 lakh crores of corporate debt, compared to which farmers’ loans amounted to much less nationally

[Sangrur,Punjab]Cong Capt Amarinder Dismisses Sidhu’s Front as ‘Inconsequential’
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Amarinder Singh today dismissed the Awaaz-e-Punjab front led by Navjot Singh Sidhu as “too insignificant and too inconsequential” to have any impact on the political scenario in the state.
He said “Three MLAs don’t make a political party,”
Interacting with reporters along the sidelines of the ‘Coffee with Captain’ programme organised here,
Amarinder also clarified that neither he nor the Congress party had sent any emissaries to invite Sidhu to join the party.
“I had only said, he was welcome to join the party since he and also Pargat Singh had Congress background as their families were actively involved with the party,” he said, while adding Sidhu should name the people from the Congress who went to meet him on his behalf.
The PPCC president said, the Congress did not face any challenge from anyone and the party will comfortably form the government in the state.
He said the Akalis are finished while AAP has already imploded.
Amarinder strongly defended his stand against any outsider seeking to become the Chief Minister of Punjab.
“That is why I have challenged Kejriwal that I will fight against him from any constituency he chooses to contest from in Punjab,” he said, while adding, “I am clear about it that Punjab is for Punjabis only”
ED Issues 2nd Summon to Capt Amarinder’s Ailing Son in FEMA Case
[Chandigarh,Punjab]ED Issues Fresh Summons to Capt Amarinder’s Ailing Son in FEMA Case
Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh’s son Raninder has been issued a fresh summons to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Punjab in connection with its probe against him for alleged forex contraventions and holding of untaxed foreign assets.
Official sources said Raninder has been asked to appear before the investigating officer (IO) in the case on July 14 at the ED zonal office in Jalandhar.
He has also been asked to bring personal financial documents with him, they said.
This is the second summons to Raninder after he had sought exemption from personal appearance last month, citing health reasons.
Raninder has been summoned to explain the alleged movement of funds to Switzerland and creation of a trust and a few subsidiaries in the tax haven of British Virgin Islands.
The alleged violations had earlier been investigated by the Income Tax department and a case in this regard was being heard in a court in Punjab. The next hearing in the case is slated for July 26.
Raninder had earlier said he did not have anything to hide and was willing to cooperate with the probe.
The case came to light when the Income Tax department received information about Raninder allegedly holding the offshore account in the alpine nation as part of details received by the Central Board of Direct Taxes from its French counterparts in 2011.
The sources said ED investigators have gathered necessary documents from a competent court in Punjab and RBI, and they suspect “contravention of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA)” by the accused.
Both Raninder and his father Amarinder, a Congress MP, have denied any wrongdoing and termed as “false” the charges

Slamming Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh for his regime’s “failure” and dismissing AAP as a “bunch of outsiders”, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today exhorted people of the state to vote the SAD-BJP combine to power for a third consecutive term.
Inaugurating and laying foundation stones of various development projects worth Rs 350 crore in Kotkapura, Jaito and Faridkot, the Deputy Chief Minister claimed the Akali Dal is the only party which genuinely represents Punjab whereas Congress and AAP were only “lusting” after power.
Sukhbir came down heavily on AAP, and said they were “bunch of outsiders who don’t have any inkling about the culture and tradition of Punjab”.
Terming AAP as Punjab’s “biggest enemy”, Badal alleged the party was trying to “disrupt communal harmony and brotherhood” in the state.
He claimed that AAP did not care for the sentiments of any religion and the dastardly act committed by them during the release of their youth manifesto in Amritsar, was drawing flak from around the world.

Punjab Congress Chief Amarinder Singh today welcomed the expulsion of Jagmeet Singh Brar from the primary membership of the party, saying he was sending “wrong signals” and creating confusion in party ranks.
Calling it an an important step, Amarinder said Brar was getting more and more “defiant” with each passing day, adding the expulsion will convey the right message that nobody is above the party.
“We tried to give him a long rope and overlooked his defiance for a long time, hoping he may mend himself”, the PCC President said in a statement reacting to Brar’s expulsion.
Amarinder said Brar “scripted his own expulsion during the course of last three months by deliberately slighting his own party and praising our political opponents like the Akali Dal and the Aam Aadmi Party”.
Brar was today expelled from Congress in the wake of his consistent statements against the interests of the party.
Brar had turned a harsh critic of Amarinder from the day he was appointed as PCC chief and had even praised AAP’s rally at the Maghi Mela in Muktsar
