AAP opposes govt’s directions to the departments based on the recommendations of Ahluwalia committee
Target’s Chief Minister by terming Ahluwalia as Modi government’s agent
Chandigarh, September 3, 2020
Taking stern notice of the list sought by the Punjab Government from various departments to implement the recommendations of the Montek Singh Ahluwalia Committee, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab Senior Leader and Leader of Opposition Harpal Singh Cheema accused Chief Minister for adopting double standards and deceiving Punjabis for yet another time.
In a statement issued from the party headquarters, Harpal Cheema said, “Raja Amarinder Singh is playing a double game with Punjab and the people of Punjab. On the one hand, they reject the anti-agriculture ordinances of the Center in the Assembly, on the other hand, they have started the process of implementing the anti-Punjab, anti-people, anti-employee and anti-farmer recommendations of the Ahluwalia Committee clandestinely.
Describing Motek Singh Ahluwalia as an ‘agent’ of the Modi government and world class corporates, Harpal Singh Cheema said that Montek Singh Ahluwalia’s model only serves the interests of private companies while acting lethal for general public especially farmers and the public sector (government agencies and employees).
Mr. Harpal Singh Cheema asked the Chief Minister to clarify about the compulsions due to which Punjab Government is bowing before the Modi government at the centre by implementing anti-people and anti-Punjab recommendations of the Ahluwalia Committee which include increase in service tax of employees, closure of Lehra Mohabbat like Bathinda Thermal Plant and Government Thermal Plants at Ropar, stopping power subsidies, unbridled privatization, including agriculture sector?
Cheema demanded that an immediate special session of the Assembly be convened on all such important issues, including the Ahluwalia Committee.
