Lashing out at the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief for his double-speak on the issue of the Resolution passed yesterday at the all-party meeting on the farm sector Ordinances, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder on Thursday dared Sukhbir Singh Badal to come out with a categorical statement that his party does not extend even conditional support to it.
"Are you or are you not opposed to the resolution? Are you with the resolution, either totally or conditionally? And finally, do you or do you not agree that Agriculture is a state subject and the Centre should not interfere," the Chief Minister asked the SAD president. misleading the people.
Pointing out that the SAD chief's explicit support on two of the three points in the resolution passed at yesterday's all-party meeting was a matter of record, he noted that the same was duly and fairly communicated through the government statement issued after the meeting and no amount of lying could change the facts. The fact of the matter, said the Chief Minister, is that while the BJP clearly and outrightly opposed the resolution, Sukhbir, after initially evading a direct response, interrupted him twice to clarify that "We will send you in writing also?that your two resolutions?MSP and meeting with Prime Minister for clarification?we are with you on the all-party resolution. On whether it infringes with federalism will like legal opinion."
