VIKRAM DITYA SHARMA/FEROZEPORE
SAD President Sukhbir Badal today announced that the forthcoming SAD government would give land rights to all border farmers tilling land along riverine tracts since decades, asserting that former CM Parkash Singh Badal had initiated this process but vested interests had thwarted the proposal.
While addressing a massive rally in Guruharsahai, Ferozepur City and Ferozepur City and Ferozepur Rural in favour of SAD candidate Nardev Singh Mann, Sukhbir said that this time the party will take concrete measures to ensure all land rights of farmers tilling riverine tracts are transferred to them without fail.
Asserting that the border areas had been neglected first by the Congress and now by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, Sukhbir said that it is not too late to change the tide in favour of the border areas. “Please vote for your regional party in the parliamentary election which will pave the way for the establishment of a SAD government in the next assembly polls.
(SUBHEAD)I assure you we will develop the entire border belt holistically. We will ensure the border with Pakistan is opened to give a fillip to trade in the area, bring in a special border area investment plan for establishment of industries in this belt and usher in super specialty medical services by establishing a Medical College in this constituency”, said Sukhbir.
Sukhbir also warned the people that the AAP government was readying to transfer the River waters of Punjab to Haryana and Delhi. “You people already do not get canal water at the tail ends. This situation will get worse with CM Bhagwant Mann browbeating Canal Patwaris to file fictitious reports stating water was reaching the tail ends and that sufficient canal water was available in Punjab for irrigation purposes”, said Sukhbir.
He alleged that this report, when submitted to the Supreme Court, would pave the way for the construction of the SYL canal through a court order. Asserting that the SAD would fight this conspiracy tooth and nail, Mr Badal also appreciated hundreds of Canal Patwars who had chosen suspension from service rather than obeying the illegal orders of the AAP government.
The SAD president also appealed to the people to compare the facilities they had received during the SAD tenure vis a vis Congress and AAP tenures. “The Shagun scheme and the SC Scholarship scheme have been closed. The atta-dal scheme and the old age pension scheme have been curtailed”. All development work has come to a halt”, he asserted while reminding the people how the erstwhile SAD government had presided over the construction of a sewerage facilities and a stadium in the constituency.
Other leaders who accompanied the SAD president during his campaign included Vardev Singh Noni Maan, Jagsir Singh Babbu Jaimalwala, Jathedar Gurpal Singh Grewal, Satinder Singh Savi, Satinderjit Singh Manta, Ashok Aneja, Prem Kumar Valecha, Joginder Singh Jindu and Montu Vohra.
