CHANDIGARH- Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today welcomed the withdrawal of the ‘Land Pooling Policy’ by the Punjab Government.
“Farmers stand vindicated in their opposition to the land pooling policy which would not only have turned them into paupers but would have damaged Punjab socially, economically and environmentally”, he said, while expressing relief that better sense prevailed on the government.
Reacting to the development, Warring said, it was a victory of the farmers and congratulated them for standing firm against this policy whose obvious aim was to rob farmers of the land worth lakhs of crores of rupees without any compensation and without their consent.
The PCC president also thanked thousands of Congress workers for resisting and opposing the policy and standing by farmers and staging regular protests across the state.
