(Chd,Pb)Gov Has Not Yet Signed Pb Bills But Capt To Approach President So AAP Rejects
The AAP on Saturday rejected Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s appeal to all parties’ MLAs to accompany him to meet President Ram Nath Kovind on November 4 to request him to give his assent to the state’s amended farm laws.
Dubbing the chief minister’s move a mere political drama , Aam Aadmi Party senior leader and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema said the AAP will not be a part of the delegation headed by the CM to meet the President.
Cheema said the three farm Bills passed in the state assembly by rushing amendments to negate the “controversial” central laws were meaningless , asserting that it would not help protect the farmers’ interests.
The Punjab Assembly this month had adopted a resolution rejecting the Centre’s new farm laws and passed four bills to counter the contentious legislation enacted by Parliament.
