TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has alleged that the BJP-led Centre was trying to punish his government for supporting the farmers’ agitation by making it powerless through a new law and went on to say that those not backing the stir were “traitors”.
Addressing a ‘Kisan mahapanchayat’ in Haryana’s Jind district, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener asserted that he is ready to make any sacrifice for the sake of farmers who are agitating against the three central agri laws.
They have brought a Bill in Parliament to punish Kejriwal. We bore the brunt. They are punishing us for supporting farmers’ agitation, said Kejriwal, while lashing out at the Centre for the enactment of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill in March.
The chief minister said all powers will now be with the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. What kind of law is this, he asked, adding that his party despite winning 62 seats would have no power. It is the responsibility of every Indian who loves his country to support the farmers, Kejriwal said, adding the BJP will have to bow before the agitating farmers. Any person who is with this agitation is a patriot and the one who is against the farmers’ agitation is a traitor, he said.
