Sangrur, December 8
PWD Minister Vijay Inder Singla on Wednesday inaugurated a memorial to farmers, ‘Yadgar-e-Shaheedaan’, in Sangrur. Memorial has the names of all farmers and labourers, who sacrificed their lives during the protest in Delhi against the recently scrapped three farm laws.
Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema and SAD leader Winnerjit Singh Goldy asked the minister why the Congress government failed to fulfill its poll promises made to farmers.
“Every section of Punjab has contributed in the farmers’ protest irrespective of their caste, religion or profession. We in Punjab have a history of honouring martyrdom. This memorial is our tribute to those brave souls who sacrificed their lives for the noble cause,” Singla said.
Cheema said the government had given neither the complete debt waiver nor jobs to all those who died during the yearlong protest. — TNS
